Chinese-Linked Loan App Involved In Extortion, Multi-Crore Fraud Busted In Delhi, 8 Arrested
The Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit of the Delhi Police has busted a gang that was allegedly involved in illegal loans, extortion and harassment of borrowers, in the national capital.
A total of eight people were arrested for allegedly extorting money from people using their morphed pictures obtained through a bugged loan app.
According to the Delhi Police, the app in question, 'Cash Advance' (Danakredit), which was available for download on Play Store, offered short-term loans to users.
Like similar cases in south India last year, the app targeted people who were looking for a quick loan to meet their urgent needs.
The borrowers were made to install the app on their phones, which the scamsters then used to get access to their contacts list, gallery, and other personal data.
The gang then used stolen personal data, including morphed photos to threaten their victims into paying large amounts.
How the gang was exposed
The scam was exposed when a Delhi-based woman, a victim of the app, filed a complaint with the police alleging that she was being harassed by a few people for money.
The woman in her complaint said that she had taken a loan from Cash Advance app and had paid the money back. But afterwards, she began getting calls for money from some people, who used abusive language with her and even sent her morphed pictures to her family and friends.
According to police, the woman alleged that one of the accused used picture of a senior IPS officer for his WhatsApp profile.
Based on the woman's complaint, a case was registered and the money trail of the alleged transaction was figured out.
What the investigators found
It was found that the money was being transferred to a current account opened in the name ‘Balaji Technology', a motorcycle repair shop, which was owned by one Rohit Kumar, a senior police officer said.
Police found that the account was used to funnel approximately Rs 8.45 crore in just 15 days to other accounts.
In all, police identified 25 more such accounts and froze them, he said.
Subsequently, raids were conducted on March 13 in Pitampura and Rohini from where police arrested four people involved in the scam, Deputy Commissioner of Police (IFSO) KPS Malhotra said.
The accused were identified as Rohit Kumar, Vividh Kumar, Puneet, and Manish. Their mobiles and other devices used in the crime were also recovered from them.
Later, two more accused, a man named Puneet Kumar and a woman, who remains unidentified, were arrested, along with one Krishna, who was identified as the mastermind of the whole operation, he said.
Krishna was arrested from Jodhpur in Rajasthan on March 14, police said.
Krishna, the mastermind in India, provided all the bank accounts to one Chinese national. It was revealed that all extortion money was being sent to China through cryptocurrency by him.
“Crypto accounts of three Chinese nationals have been identified," the officer said.
Later, police arrested another accused, Sumit, from Gurugram.
Sumit ran the operation to make WhatsApp calls through a number obtained using fake documents.
When interrogated, he led the police to another accused, Kartik Panchal, whom he identified as the team leader of the operation.
Panchal too was arrested, police said.
"We found that Panchal was running a team of callers who used to make calls to the loan seekers. It was also found that the accused morphed and edited pictures of women and sent them to their contacts to extort money from them," Malhotra said.
The loan app brandished a fake NBFC agreement and privacy policy and attracted clients with special offers.
Not a new phenomenon
Non-registered Chinese loan apps had been under the scanner in India since 2021, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
They had targeted youths who had lost their income due to the lockdowns.
Since it is instant approval, without any paperwork or other usual formalities, people who are in urgent need of cash will fall for it.
After a flood of complaints, mostly from Telangana and some reported deaths due to harassment, Google had cracked down on such apps and banned them from the Play store.

BERLIN (AP) — German lawmakers who proposed a requirement for all adults to be vaccinated against COVID-19 sought a compromise on Monday after struggling to win a majority in parliament, suggesting a less sweeping mandate that would initially oblige everyone aged 50 and above to get shots.
Olaf Scholz said shortly before becoming chancellor in December that he favored a vaccine mandate for all adults. But amid deep divisions on the issue within his governing coalition, he left it to lawmakers to come up with legislation rather than having the government draw up rules.
Ahead of votes expected in parliament Thursday, there appeared to be no clear majority for any of a variety of proposals — ranging from the proposed mandate for all adults to bills explicitly opposing any mandate at all.
The 237 lawmakers who backed a mandate for all adults are now proposing a plan under which people aged 50 and above would be required to prove that they have been vaccinated starting Oct. 1, news agency dpa reported.
Other adults who aren't vaccinated would be required to show that they have at least received counseling on the issue. Parliament could decided after its summer break, taking into account the progress of the pandemic and of vaccination, whether there should also be a vaccination mandate for under-50s.
Some 76% of Germany's population of 83 million has received a full first course of vaccination and 58.8% also have received a booster shot. Officials aren't satisfied with the number of older people in particular who have been vaccinated.
Infection levels are drifting downward from very high levels, and most coronavirus restrictions have recently been relaxed.
The only European country that has passed a vaccination mandate for most adults into law is neighboring Austria. But the government in Vienna last month suspended the mandate shortly before its enforcement was due to begin, arguing that there's no need to implement it at present.

Kim Kardashian has met Pete Davidson's grandparents.
The 41-year-old beauty recently joined her boyfriend on a trip to New York City, where he was working on a movie and because the production was close to the Staten Island home of his relatives, the 'Saturday Night Live' star took the SKIMS founder to see them after he'd finished filming for the day.
While Pete has met Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, her siblings, and many of her friends, sources told TMZ he has yet to meet her four children, North, eight, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and two-year-old Psalm, out of respect for their father, Kanye West.
It was previously claimed Kim is trying to be "very respectful" of Kanye while navigating her romance with Pete, but she's "very serious" about the 28-year-old star, much to the delight of her family.
A source said: "She wants to be respectful of Kanye too. Kim is just very happy and serious with Pete. Her family loves having him around too. He is very sweet to Kim. Everyone loves seeing her this happy."
And although the couple have only been together since October, they've reportedly discussed starting a family of their own one day.
An insider said: “Pete is really happy with where things stand between them [him and Kim] and he only wants to continue growing closer.
“Pete has always known he’s wanted to have kids and become a father one day. Even though some people might not take Pete seriously, he absolutely sees himself settling down with a wife and starting a family of his own.”
The source added: “He knows Kim is completely self-sufficient and doesn’t need a man to provide for her.”
The former 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - who shot to fame alongside her family as part of the long-running reality series - previously spoke of how "blessed" she is to have the support of her family.
She said: "I’m so blessed to have such an incredible family, having their support means everything."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The number of COVID-19 hospitalizations nationwide is at an all-time low falling 32% over the last two weeks.
We are also seeing similar trends here in the Carolinas with South Carolina and most of North Carolina having low community levels.
Health officials say hospitalizations are continuing to decrease week after week, and even though the BA.2 subvariant of omicron is becoming more prominent they’re not expecting a surge in cases.
"We are seeing less and less severe cases of COVID-19 which is a great sign that we're continuing in the right direction," Dr. Jane Kelly, South Carolina's DHEC Assistant Epidemiologist, said.
Kelly said if the past has taught us anything, it's that we cannot rest on our laurels. And even though hospitalizations are trickling downward they’re encouraging more people to get vaccinated to ensure the situation stays stable.
"Delta was a big deal, omicron was a big deal, the Ba.2 variant, maybe not," Dr. Christopher Ohl, with Atrium Health said. "We might have a slight increase in cases because it is a little more infectious, but it doesn't evade immunity any differently than omicron does."
Contact Tradesha Woodard at twoodard1@wcnc.com and follow her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
As we continue to take another step closer to the endemic phase. New COVID-19 data is expected to be released for both North Carolina and South Carolina later this week.

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam announced Monday that she will step down in June after 42 years in government service, ending with a tumultuous 5-year term as the city's chief executive. Some highlights of Lam's life and career:
___
May 13, 1957: Born Cheng Yuet-ngor in Hong Kong. She attends St. Francis’ Canossian School, a Catholic girls’ school, where she failed only once to finish at the top of her class, and later said she cried because of it.
1980: Graduates from the University of Hong Kong and joins the Hong Kong government as a civil servant. During her career, she is known for having a strong work ethic.
1982: Studies at the University of Cambridge, where she meets her future husband, mathematician Lam Siu-por.
1984: Marries Lam Siu-por.
July 1, 1997: Britain returns Hong Kong to China. Under the one-China, two-systems framework, Hong Kong becomes a special administrative region with its own laws and system of government.
July 1, 2007: Appointed secretary for development. Renounces her British nationality as required under Chinese rule for senior officials of the Hong Kong government.
July 1, 2012: Appointed to the city's No 2 position, chief secretary for administration.
July 1, 2017: Sworn in by Chinese President Xi Jinping as Hong Kong's chief executive after winning 777 votes in March from a 1,194-member elections committee.
Feb. 2019: The Hong Kong government proposes amendments to the city's laws that would allow extraditions on a case-by-case basis to mainland China.
March 2019: Thousands take to the streets of Hong Kong to protest the extradition bill.
June 9, 2019: A massive protest against the bill draws more than 1 million people by organizers' estimates. Protests and political strife shake the city for more than six months.
Sept. 2019: Lam announces her government will withdraw the extradition bill. The protests continue over other issues, turning increasingly violent at times as demonstrators battle police in the streets.
June 2020: Beijing imposes a national security law on Hong Kong, outlawing secession, subversion, terrorism and colluding with foreign powers to intervene in the city's affairs.
July 31, 2020: Lam invokes an emergency regulations ordinance to postpone Legislative Council elections by a year, citing public health risks from the pandemic. The opposition pro-democracy camp accuses her of using the pandemic to delay a vote in which it expected to make gains.
Aug. 2020: The U.S. imposes sanctions on Lam and other Chinese and Hong Kong officials “for undermining Hong Kong’s autonomy and restricting the freedom of expression or assembly of the citizens of Hong Kong.” Lam later says she had to store “piles of cash” at home as she had no access to banking services.
May 2021: China revises Hong Kong’s election laws, reducing the proportion of those directly elected by voters to the legislature and ensuring that only those loyal to Beijing are allowed to run for office.
Dec. 2021: Voter turnout sinks to 30% in the delayed Legislative Council election, which returns a heavily pro-Beijing majority after the pro-democracy camp doesn't field any candidates.
Jan 2022-present: An omicron-driven outbreak overwhelms the health system, leading to more than 8,000 deaths. Lam's government is widely criticized for mishandling the outbreak.
April 4, 2022: Lam announces she will retire after her five-year term expires on June 30.

LSG did not have the best start to their debut season, losing by five wickets against fellow IPL debutants Gujarat Titans.
But they roared back in style by beating defending champions Chennai Super Kings six wickets in a high-scoring affair in their second match.
In skipper KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock, LSG boast of formidable opening pair, and they proved their worth against CSK by scoring 40 and 61 in a 99-run first-wicket stand.
West Indian Evin Lewis smashed unbeaten 55 off 23 balls in a steep chase of 211 against CSK while, in Deepak Hooda, LSG possess a dependable middle-order batter.

Young Ayush Badoni, who has taken the ongoing IPL by storm with his six hitting prowess, is a treat to watch and would be looking to carry on his fine form.
Badoni struck an 41-ball 54 in his IPL debut against Titans and followed it up with yet another entertaining nine-ball unbeaten 19-run knock against CSK.
But the form of Manish Pandey will be a cause of concern for LSG, who also boasts of hard-hitting all-rounders like Krunal Pandya and Jason Holder among others.
On the bowling front, Avesh Khan, Sri Lankan Dushmantha Chameera, Andrew Tye and Ravi Bishnoi were the main wicket-takers for LSG in the two matches so far, but they need to be more disciplined to contain the run flow.
Sunrisers, on the other hand, were blown away by the batting effort of Rajasthan Royals in a 61-run defeat in their opening match.
Comprising a mediocre squad, Sunrisers players need to punch above their weight.
While experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/29) produced an economical spell, the likes of Romario Shepherd (1/33), Umran Malik (2/39), T Natarajan (2/43) and Washington Sundar leaked runs against RR.

And Sunrisers team management will expect a much-improved performance from its bowling unit in the matches to come.
If bowling is a concern, Sunrisers batting department too looked cagey against RR and would be relying heavily on skipper Kane Williamson, Rahul Tripathy, Nicholas Pooran, Abdul Samad and Abhishek Sharma to deliver the goods.
In their only match so far, South African Aiden Markran played an unbeaten 57-run knock off 41 balls, while Sundar hit a blazing 14-ball 40, albeit in a losing cause.
Sunrsiers would be looking for a complete, all-round performance to register their first win of the season.
Lucknow Super Giants: KL Rahul (captain), Manan Vohra, Evin Lewis, Manish Pandey, Quinton De Kock, Ravi Bishnoi, Dushmantha Chameera, Shahbaz Nadeem, Mohsin Khan, Mayank Yadav, Ankit Rajpoot, Avesh Khan, Andrew Tye, Marcus Stoinis, Kyle Mayers, Karan Sharma, Krishnappa Gowtham, Ayush Badoni, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Jason Holder.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Kane Williamson (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Abdul Samad, Priyam Garg, Vishnu Vinod, Glenn Phillips, R Samarth, Shashank Singh, Washington Sundar, Romario Shepherd, Marco Jansen, J Suchith, Shreyas Gopal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sean Abbott, Kartik Tyagi, Saurabh Tiwary, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Umran Malik, T Natarajan.
Match starts at 7:30 PM.

There is an aware effort inside services-focused short term therapy to keep focused on services dialogues in order to de-emphasize condition dialogues
Vocabulary and you can truth.
Instance an aware efforts increases regarding a concern about the newest part regarding vocabulary in creating otherwise preserving reality. Solution-focused temporary therapy viewpoints vocabulary because the average whereby personal definition and you will facts are shown and you can socially constructed during the talk (de Shazer, 1991, 1994). Furthermore, the definition out of anything is actually contingent on the contexts therefore the language within this and this products are described, classified, and you will created because of the readers (Wittgenstein, 1958). Wittgenstein (1958) suggested that the way just one event the reality is framed and you will simply for the words open to them so you’re able to describe it. As such, this type of significance was naturally erratic and you will moving forward (Wittgenstein, 1958). Therefore, a major healing task to have social functions benefits should be to envision how we can use code in procedures that can support the latest breakdown and you will framework off a “beneficial” reality which can discover room for folks to track down ways to their presenting problems.
Acknowledging the efficacy of language in creating and you may sustaining truth, the fresh new “conversation regarding change” is the prominent vocabulary off service-centered short-term therapy. Brand new “conversation from alter” spends vocabulary towards the after the features (Lee, ainsi que al, 2003):
It “conversation from alter” uses presuppositional vocabulary one assumes a probability of alter and you may and so triggers hopefulness during the website subscribers (Lee mais aussi al., 2003; Walter & Peller, 1992).
Liability to own Possibilities
Therapists of provider-focused short-term cures will hold the consumer accountable for alternatives in place of troubles from the medication techniques in order to morally and you will effortlessly support self-confident alterations in members (de Shazer, 1985). The main benefit of including an attention is the fact that the specialist and the client can also be lead therapeutic perform into giving support to the customer’s obligation to have building choices and you may steering clear of the prospective negativity course which could end up being perpetrated by language off blaming (Lee mais aussi al., 2003). However, carrying clients to-be responsible for alternatives is actually none effortless nor effortless. Subscribers constantly seek procedures as they do not know if not think that you’ll find remedies for the presenting troubles. Changes demands hard work and a simple solution-strengthening process demands punishment and effort (Berg & Kelly, 2000; De Jong and you may Berg (2013). Within the services-centered therapy, new “solution” is generated in the way of a target that’s in order to feel thinking-calculated and you may accomplished by the consumer (Lee, Uken, & Sebold, 2007). Functions out-of beneficial specifications try:
sensible and you can attainable during the framework of the consumer’s life; and you will (6) regarded as involving perseverance (Berg & Miller, 1992; Lee ainsi que al., 2007).
A present and you may Future Direction
Some body Oxford sugar daddies takes of use measures to affect the establish therefore the coming, however, definitely we can’t change what has taken place on the previous. Solution-focused temporary cures thinks you to definitely difficulties get into for the past whenever you are selection exists in the current and you can future. Solution-focused short term cures assumes that the significance off a problem try items of your own framework (de- Shazer, 1991). As you can can’t say for sure the reason why a challenge is present and you will because state perceptions aren’t exterior mission “information,” insight into the brand new problem’s origin is not necessary to begin a great procedure for improvement in members. Rather than reducing the significance of the latest customer’s sense and you can impact out-of a brief history of situation, an answer-concentrated specialist listens attentively so you’re able to clients’ sharing of the stories and you will event. But not, the fresh practitioner cannot bolster that it type of discussion and alternatively searches for opportunities to shift in order to good “dialogue from alter” that assists website subscribers for the “staying at the outside of the dilemmas” (de Shazer, 1991). “Being at the outside out-of problems” really should not be equated with are shallow throughout the treatment procedure. The treatment process prevents heading “deep” towards situation; rather, they aims to assist readers to behave achievable and observable inside their establish, instantaneous lifetime context (de- Shazer, 1994). Solution-focused short-term cures understands that we never replace the past however, takes on that people will perform something helpful in the current.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bright pink and all-over metallics were the fashion stories of the Grammys red carpet led by Saweetie in fuchsia Valentino and Tiffany Haddish in sparkling one-shoulder Prada asthe music crowddid Las Vegas proud with a show of wild, whimsical and meaningful looks.
Saweetie’s full skirt and bra top were paired with long matching gloves. Billy Porter, always a fashion standout, also went with fuchsia in a trouser look that had a sheer button-down shirt and long ruffled cape from Valentino.
Justin Bieber, in clunky platform Crocs and a baggy Balenciaga gray suit a few sizes too big, wore a fuchsia beanie on his head as walked with his wife, Hailey, in white Saint Laurent. Count Chrissy Teigen in the pink camp as well.
“The color of the season I hear is fuchsia,” Porter told E! His look was straight off the runway.
Saweetie was a twofer on the carpet, changing into an Oscar de la Renta black gown with a silver piece covering one breast.
Lady Gaga chose classic Hollywood in black-and-white velvet Armani Prive. She dripped in Tiffany & Co. diamonds that included a short statement necklace as she hit the carpet just before the televised awards. Her hair was swept into an updo.
Haddish stunned in a fitted one-shoulder gown, and Carrie Underwood went full ballgown with sparkle in the top with sash and a full skirt of sunset orange. Mickey Guyton rocked an ombre long-sleeve silver and gold fringe flapper sparkle dress by Ashish, shimmying for the cameras.
Brandi Carlile toted about 40 pounds of hand-cut crystals on a multicolored Hugo Boss tuxedo jacket with stripes of the same crystals on the trousers and waist.
“I’m finally morphing into Elton John, which is my dream,” she said.
Olivia Rodrigo waved and smiled in a black sheath gown from Vivienne Westwood, who included purple sparkle trim worn with rocker chokers. She was joined in black by Billie Eilish in a Rick Owens trench coat turned cape, lug soul boots on her feet.
“Olivia Rodrigo in her black opera gloves and black sheath floor length was giving me Morticia Addams in a totally hip way. Very mature and lady like for her,” said Holly Katz, a stylist and host of the Fashion Crimes podcast. “A similar Pressiat corset dress was worn by Halsey that had the same vibe. This is a trend for the long and lean but will always be a classic dress style for decades to come.”
Katz was not a fan of Eilish’s look.
“As far as the ‘unfashion’ trends go, let’s all hope that Billie Eilish doesn’t get her curtain dress trend to trickle down. We would have one too many fashion blobs on the streets.”
Eilish changed later into a Willy Chavarria T-shirt with a photo of the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins on the front for her performance on stage. It had his name on the back.
All seven members of the sensation BTS, meanwhile, wore custom Louis Vuitton suits with sneakers in a range of colors from bright white to muted blue.
“BTS made dressing like a boy band look genuinely cool. It’s a feat that at one point seemed impossible. More power to all of them — and to Louis Vuitton — for that,” said Jonathan Evans, Esquire’s style director.
H.E.R. paid homage to Aretha Franklin in an embellished orange and yellow ombre look, and fashion favorite Cynthia Erivo was in sparkling silver and gray from Louis Vuitton. H.E.R. wore a custom winged kaftan jumpsuit from Dundas. It was chiffon and embellished with a golden beaded and sequin phoenix motif.
Sofia Carson wore an elegant Grecian gown from Valentino with a long sheer cape that swept over the carpet as she walked. And Lil Nas X didn’t disappoint in embellished white Balmain with butterflies at the chest and on the sleeves, sky high platforms on his feet.
Jon Batiste went full sparkle in a Dolce & Gabbana suit with yellow and black touches honoring his hometown, New Orleans.
“These are New Orleans Saints colors. I wanted to bring home with me on the carpet,” he said.
Megan Thee Stallion went in another direction in an animal print dress with an oh-so-high slit from Roberto Cavalli. The lining was a contrast animal strip, an unusual touch. Dua Lipa was a study in straps sporting long blonde hair. Her Versace gown was adorned with straps and gold hardware.
Lady Gaga was high on the fashion list for Katz.
“Unexpected, old Hollywood glam that shows her more feminine, traditional side. Vey different from her edgy persona we are all used to. Don’t be surprised to see this dress trickle down in many knockoffs soon to come,” she said.
Among early walkers was Li Saumet from Colombia’s Bomba Estéreo, who covered her face with a helmet-like mask. Cheri Moon of the 1 Tribe Collective children’s group went all out in full gold, complete with a huge architectural collar. Victoria Evigan smooched her husband, Jason, in a peach and yellow dress with “Love is the Weapon” at the back.
Alisha Gaddis, with comedy on her resume, paired her shiny, minty gown with a head piece of high, golden branches. Elle King was resplendent in a red bell-bottom trouser suit with swinging bell sleeves and an ultra-wide brim hat to match. Black Coffee, the DJ from South Africa, paid homage to his friend Virgil Abloh, wearing a pair of the late designer’s sneakers before his win for dance/electronic music album.
King, a new mom, was thrilled to be wearing Christian Siriano.
“I just trusted him. He knows how to dress all types of bodies and I really celebrate that in him,” she told The Associated Press. “I just wanted to feel powerful.”
Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast smiled for cameras in a mini dress of bright yellow ruffles from Valentino, while Doja Cat, her hair accentuated in spikes, wore an ice blue Atelier Versace crystal embellished sheer look.
As for the men, there was plenty of ornate, brocade jackets and suits in the early bunch.
“It’s the sort of thing that can look genuinely fantastic when executed carefully,” Evans said.
Leon Bridges lent a nod to his native Texas in a cream tuxedo look embellished with embroidery and a touch of blue bonnets.
“I just like to look good, you know,” he told the AP.
Among Evans’ early standouts was something on the other end of that spectrum, Cory Henry in a double-breasted suit and turtleneck combo.
“Rich, offbeat colors like purple can prove tricky when it comes to tailoring, but he nails the modernized ’70s vibe,” he said.
The evening’s host, Trevor Noah, looked the part in Gucci, both on the red carpet and on stage, Evans said. Among Noah’s fashion changes were a mauve double-breasted tux with black pants, and a navy blue jacquard in satin, also double-breasted.
“He showed us all that the fashion house can do toned-down tailoring with the best of them, a fact we’d all do well not to forget,” he said. “And cheers to the guys who freaked it in their own ways. Questlove’s Salehe Bembury Crocs were a particular standout.”
Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, the best music filmGrammy winner for “Summer of Soul,” rocked something else as well: a Mikimoto x Commes des Garcons pearl necklace with silver spikes that goes for $6,800.
Evans called white suits for the men a “cool microtrend for the evening,” including on Black Coffee and Esona Maphumulo, both in Amiri. Flared trousers aren’t exactly the norm, but “it’s looking like their influence can’t be ignored,” he said.
“We saw them on BTS, Giveon, Walshy Fire, not to mention Lil Nas X. Maybe I’m attuned to the ’70s vibe considering the white suits and the double-breasted suit and turtleneck combo, but it really does seem that the era’s influence has some staying power,” Evans added.
That said, the music industry’s continued love affair with slim tailoring, especially when it comes to pants, can’t be ignored, he said.
“Jack Antonoff, Jared Leto, Joh Legend, Diplo. All of them embraced a skinnier trouser,” Evans said. “Combine that with Justin Bieber’s big, big, BIG suit and you’ve got a pretty decent case study for the idea that we’re really, truly in an anything goes era when it comes to menswear, at least when we’re talking about how you cover your legs.”

‘Ugly Girls Can Be Married Off:’ Sociology Textbook lists 'Merits of Dowry' sparks outrage on Twitter
New Delhi, Mar 04: A picture of a Sociology textbook listing the "merits and advantages" of the dowry system, has gone viral on various social media platform . This book which is meant for nursing students had sparked outrage on Twitter and it is said that it is written as per the Indian Nursing Council syllabus.
The text reads, that the "dowry is helpful in establishing new household" with furniture, appliances such as refrigerators and vehicles.
The text, which had triggered outrage with many slamming the authorities and urging the government to take action, was reportedly shot three months ago but was uploaded only recently, said district collector M Aarthi. The alleged incident took place at a school in Anambakkam of Uthiramerur.
Listing the many merits of dowry, the book states that:
The practice is helpful in establishing new households with mattresses, television, furniture, and vehicles.
The second point justifies the practice by stating that girls get a share of parental property in dowry.
The third point says that an indirect advantage of the dowry system is that parents have now started educating their girls so that they have to give less dowry.
Lastly, the fourth point states that dowry system can help marry off 'ugly looking girls'.
After the tweet went viral, Shiv Sena leader and Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, tagged Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and asked him to remove such books from circulation.

Lakhimpur: SC questions detailed examination of evidence, Yogi govt says Ashish Mishra not a 'flight risk'
SC referred to Allahabad HC verdict in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence matter and questioned the detailed examination of evidence like postmortem report while granting bail to Ashish Mishra
The Supreme Court on Monday referred to the Allahabad High Court verdict in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence matter and questioned the detailed examination of evidence like postmortem report while granting bail to Ashish Mishra, son of Union minister Ajay Mishra, in the case.
A special bench comprising Chief Justice N V Ramana and Justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli also reserved its verdict on the plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to Ashish Mishra in the case.
How can the judge go into postmortem report etc. We are hearing a bail matter, we do not want to prolong.This way of going into merits and going into wounds etc. is unnecessary for the question of bail, the bench observed.
Senior advocate Dushayant Dave and lawyer Prashant Bhushan, appearing for the farmers, sought cancellation of the bail alleging that the high court overlooked the probe report and went by the FIR while granting the relief to the accused.
The state government though termed the offence grave and said that all the witnesses have been granted protection.
The Uttar Pradesh government also told the Supreme Court that Ashish Mishra, son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni, who is accused of running over farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri, is 'not a flight risk'.
The Uttar Pradesh government, represented by Mahesh Jethmalani, was responding to a petition by families of the farmers killed in the October 3, 2021 violence, challenging the bail granted to Mishra by the Allahabad High Court.
Asserting that the offence is 'grave', the state government told the court that 'no words are enough' to condemn it.
It also maintained that it had 'vehemently' opposed the bail in the high court.
However, Ashish Mishra is not a 'flight risk' and security has been provided to the witnesses to ensure there is no tampering, the Uttar Pradesh government added.
On March 16, the top court had sought responses of the Uttar Pradesh government and Ashish Mishra, on a plea challenging the grant of bail to him.
It had also directed the state government to ensure protection of witnesses after the counsel, appearing for farmers, referred to the attack on a key witness on March 10.
On October 3 last year, eight people were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri during violence that erupted when farmers were protesting against Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya's visit to the area.
Four farmers were mowed down by an SUV, in which Ashish Mishra was seated, according to the UP Police FIR. Following the incident, the driver and two BJP workers were allegedly lynched by angry farmers.
A journalist also died in the violence that triggered outrage among opposition parties and farmer groups agitating over the Centre's now-repealed agricultural reform laws.

Ross Taylor made 14 for New Zealand against the Netherlands in the third one-day cricket international on Monday, coming to the crease and leaving it to a standing ovation.
The match was Taylor's 450th and last for New Zealand before he retires at the end of a 16-year international career. The 38-year-old batsman played his last test against South Africa this year but decided to make this match on his home ground at Seddon Park his final bow.
His children, MacKenzie, Jonty and Adelaide, stood beside him during the national anthems and he went through an honor guard formed by Netherlands players.
Taylor played his first one-day international for New Zealand in 2006 and his first test the following year. He went on to play 112 tests, scoring 7,683 runs, including 19 centuries, and 236 one-day internationals in which he made 8,593 runs. He also scored 1,909 runs in 102 Twenty20 internationals.
Taylor had a long wait for his last innings Monday. New Zealand batted first after winning the toss and a 203-run partnership for the second wicket between Martin Guptill and Will Young delayed his appearance until the 39th over.
Guptill made 106 and Young went on to 120 as New Zealand made 333-8. Matt Henry then took 4-36 as New Zealand bowled out the Netherlands for 218 to win the match by 115 runs and sweep the three-match series.
As soon as he appeared the crowd rose to its feet. Taylor hit a six among his 14 runs before mistiming a ball from Logan van Beek and offering the bowler a simple return catch.
He turned toward the changing room for the last time with a faint smile on his face. The opposing players formed up on either side as he walked slowly from the field, acknowledging the long ovation of the crowd.
Taylor has long been a fan favorite for his steadiness, reliability and his ready smile.
“For me it was just being a player that tries fight in as many situations as possible, gave it my all, played with a smile on my face and hopefully represented my country proudly and with a lot of respect,” Taylor told Radio New Zealand.
“That's always what I wanted to do — play for my country. And hopefully that's something it'll be cool to be remembered for.”

The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved.

US seizes yacht owned by oligarch with close ties to Putin
PALMA DE MALLORCA, Spain (AP) — The U.S. government seized a mega yacht in Spain owned by an oligarch with close ties to the Russian president on Monday, the first in the government’s sanctions enforcement initiative to “seize and freeze” giant boats and other pricey assets of Russian elites.
Spain’s Civil Guard and U.S. federal agents descended on the yacht at the Marina Real in the port of Palma de Mallorca, the capital of Spain’s Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Associated Press reporters at the scene saw police going in and out of the boat on Monday morning.
The seizure was confirmed by two people familiar with the matter. The people could not discuss the matter publicly and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity. A Spanish Civil Guard spokesman confirmed that officers from the Spanish police body and from the FBI were at the marina searching the vessel Monday morning and said further details would be released later.
A Civil Guard source told The Associated Press that the immobilized yacht is Tango, a 78-meter (254-feet) vessel that carries Cook Islands flag and that Superyachtfan.com, a specialized website that tracks the world’s largest and most exclusive recreational boats, values at $120 million. The source was also not authorized to be named in media reports and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
The yacht is among the assets linked to Viktor Vekselberg, a billionaire and close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin who heads the Moscow-based Renova Group, a conglomerate encompassing metals, mining, tech and other assets, according to U.S. Treasury Department documents. All of Vekselberg’s assets in the U.S. are frozen and U.S. companies are forbidden from doing business with him and his entities.
The move is the first time the U.S. government has seized an oligarch’s yacht since Attorney General Merrick Garland and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen assembled a task force known as REPO — short for Russian Elites, Proxies and Oligarchs — as an effort to enforce sanctions after Russia invaded Ukraine in late February.
Vekselberg has long had ties to the U.S. including a green card he once held and homes in New York and Connecticut. The Ukrainian-born businessman built his fortune by investing in the aluminum and oil industries in the post-Soviet era.
Vekselberg was also questioned in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and has worked closely with his American cousin, Andrew Intrater, who heads the New York investment management firm Columbus Nova.
Vekselberg and Intrater were thrust into the spotlight in the Mueller probe after the attorney for adult film star Stormy Daniels released a memo that claimed $500,000 in hush money was routed through Columbus Nova to a shell company set up by Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen. Columbus Nova denied that Vekselberg played any role in its payments to Cohen.
Vekselberg and Intrater met with Cohen at Trump Tower, one of several meetings between members of Trump’s inner circle and high-level Russians during the 2016 campaign and transition.
The 64-year-old mogul founded Renova Group more than three decades ago. The group holds the largest stake in United Co. Rusal, Russia’s biggest aluminum producer, among other investments.
Vekselberg was first sanctioned by the U.S. in 2018, and again in March of this year, shortly after the invasion of Ukraine began. Vekselberg has also been sanctioned by authorities in the United Kingdom.
The U.S. Justice Department has also launched a sanctions enforcement task force known as KleptoCapture, which also aims to enforce financial restrictions in the U.S. imposed on Russia and its billionaires, working with the FBI, Treasury and other federal agencies. That task force will also target financial institutions and entities that have helped oligarchs move money to dodge sanctions.
The White House has said that many allied countries, including German, the U.K, France, Italy and others are involved in trying to collect and share information against Russians targeted for sanctions. In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden warned oligarch that the U.S. and European allies would “find and seize your yachts, your luxury apartments, your private jets.”
“We are coming for your ill-begotten gains,” he said.
Wednesday’s capture is not the first time Spanish authorities have been involved in the seizure of a Russian oligarch’s superyacht. Officials there said they had seized a vessel valued at over $140 million owned by the CEO of a state-owned defense conglomerate and a close Putin ally.
French authorities have also seized superyachts, including one believed to belong to Igor Sechin, a Putin ally who runs Russian oil giant Rosneft, which has been on the U.S. sanctions list since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
Italy has also seized several yachts and other assets.
Italian financial police moved quickly seizing the superyacht “Lena” belonging to Gennady Timchenko, an oligarch close to Putin, in the port of San Remo; the 65-meter (215-foot) “Lady M” owned by Alexei Mordashov in nearby Imperia, featuring six suites and estimated to be worth 65 million euros; as well as villas in Tuscany and Como, according to government officials.

Hundreds of people stage protests in Singapore fearing a wave of state hangings
State officials say the punishment is effective against drug trafficking
Hundreds of people gathered in Singapore on Sunday to protest against the resumption of capital punishment in the city state.
Around 400 protesters gathered with placards such as “execution is not the solution” or “help, not hang” to urge the government to end death penalty.
Singapore had halted executions due to the coronavirus pandemic and had not meted out the capital punishment since November 2019.
But last week, a man on death row for drug trafficking was hanged in the first execution in the city-state in over two years.
Abdul Kahar Othman, 68, was hanged despite pleas from rights activists, including the UN Human Rights Office, to commute his death penalty to life sentence.
A Malaysian man, Nagaenthran K Dharmalingam, who has a mental disability, may be next in line after he lost a final appeal on Tuesday against his death sentence. Mr Dharmalingam has been on the death row since 2010.
The appeals of three other men sentenced to death for drug offences were also rejected in March.
Singapore has faced increasing calls from rights groups to abolish death penalty. However, authorities allege the punishment remains effective against drug trafficking and has helped to keep the city state one of the safest places in Asia.
Jolovan Wham, an activist who organised Sunday’s protest, said recent cases in Singapore involving the death penalty have helped gather both local and international momentum around the cause to do away with executions, reported The Strait Times.
The protest was held in Speakers’ Corner, the only place in Singapore where protests can be legally held. The park was closed during the pandemic, since April 2020.
“Capital punishment is a brutal system that makes brutes of us all,” Kirsten Han, a prominent local activist, was quoted as addressing the crowd by AFP.
“Instead of pushing us to address inequalities and exploitative and oppressive systems that leave people marginalised and unsupported, it makes us the worst version of ourselves,” she added.

Mumbai: Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Brendon McCullum believes the Australian Test captain Pat Cummins would add an element of leadership for captain Shreyas Iyer to feed off.Also Read - IPL 2022: Delhi Capitals (DC) Skipper Shares Heartfelt Note on Instagram About His Father; Ex CSK Man Suresh Raina Reacts
“Pretty delighted to get Pat back. He’s going to add another layer of leadership in and around our skipper Shreyas, who has been impressive as well. We have got a few selection headaches actually. We have more guys to pick from than not, which is a good problem to have and hopefully we get them right,” McCullum told Kolkata Knight Riders’ official website.

“He’s one of those guys who blends so well in this environment and is a wonderful human being. Huss (David Hussey, mentor) was adamant he wanted some Australians, I was, obviously, a bit hesitant about too many Australians (laughs) but Pat’s an absolute beauty, a wonderful cricketer and a strong leader as well,” he added.

Cummins, who arrived last week, is available for selection for their next game against the Mumbai Indians and adds to a few selection headaches. Cummins’ inclusion would bolster an in-form pace bowling that has led the Knight Riders to two wins out of three games.
The Knight Riders prepare to take on Mumbai Indians on Wednesday (April 6) and even though the Rohit Sharma-led team is coming off two losses in as many games, McCullum is not discounting the five-time IPL champions.
“Mumbai are Mumbai! (Laughs) They know what they are doing. We are very respectful of the Mumbai Indians management, the coaching staff and the leadership. So we know that even with a couple of losses early in this tournament, they would still remain poised under pressure. We are expecting them to play well. We expect every team that we come up against to play well and we expect us to play well as well. Hopefully, if we can be present and calm in pressure times, then hopefully it means we come out on top,” McCullum said.

Cowtown Crosses Should Stay Where They Are
Dear Sir:
In nearby Cowtown (Elizabethton), they’re having quite a controversy. Year’s ago, three wooden crosses were constructed on public land.
Well, an outside group (agitators?) calling themselves Freedom From Religion is again causing a ruckus, claiming said crosses violate the U.S. Constitution.
A simple solution: sell that particular tract of land to a private individual for one dollar. And leave the crosses where they’re at!
We have a traffic situation on the A.J. Highway/Rufe Taylor Road, namely the left-turning lanes need to be extended. Whenever the normal left lanes are full, motorists cannot avail themselves of the left-turning lanes. This is especially true in front of Taco Bell. What if an emergency vehicle needed that left-turning lane? Or someone’s business or house was burning down? TDOT needs to address this issue ASAP!
It appears the city of Greeneville isn’t going to pave all of Bohannon Avenue. Why not? A fresh coat of asphalt sure would help, folks!
I’m tired of TV newscasters’ reports of “war crimes” committed by Russia in Ukraine. Well, it’s obvious Putin is guilty. But what is NATO or the United Nations doing about the accusations? The way I look at it, it’s all bark and no bite!
In closing, our beloved Volunteer State finished the 2012-2013 budget year with a $42 million general fund surplus. Wonder whatever happened with that “old” money?

David Beckham's tattoos: Where are they and what do they mean?
David Beckham has always been one to express himself through his personal appearance.
We've seen the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and England midfielder sport a string of different hairstyles over the years, display questionable outfits, and dabble with the length of his facial hair.
What he has also come to be known for, away from the football pitch, is the number of tattoos which he has sprawled across his body. But where are they and what do they represent? GOAL takes a look.

Beckham's head & neck tattoos
We'lll start with Beckham's head and neck tattoos.
Possibly the most famous of the former England captain's body ink is on the back of his neck; a Gothic-style outline of a cross with wings, placed above the name of his son, Romeo.
Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, tattooed on his neck, to which he later added the words 'Pretty Lady' on her fourth birthday.
The former Man Utd and Real Madrid midfielder has dedicated a fair amount of his body to tributes to his children, with the words 'Dadda', and 'Buster', a piece to celebrate his relationship with his eldest son, Brooklyn, on his neck.
Above the aforementioned 'Pretty Lady' tattoo on the left of his neck, Beckham now has a rose, and below 'Buster' on the right he has the head of a horse, a nod to his wife, Victoria.
He also has a flock of birds rising towards his left ear, which has a black heart etched onto it, while there is also a picture of the solar system that is often hidden by his hair.
Beckham's sleeve tattoos
On Beckham's right shoulder, he has a tattoo of an angel and two cherubs with the words 'In the face of adversity'. This was done a month after former personal assistant Rebecca Loos claimed that she had an affair with the star.
Below the angel is a filler of clouds, with another angel below that. Beckham also has the words 'Let them hate as long as they fear' written on his arm, a quote synonymous with former Roman emporer Caligula.
On the same arm are the words 'Pray for me', while he has a hummingbird and the name of his wife, Victoria, on his wrist.
On the opposite side, Beckham has a piece inspired by Cupid and Psyche, based on a 15th century painting by Francesco Francia.
Beckham also has another rose tattoo, this time marking the tenth anniversary with his wife, Victoria, and an image of her lower down.
Another tribute to Victoria comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, inked in Sanskrit, though it has since been revealed that it actually translates as 'Vihctoria'.
The pair also have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary. These translate as 'I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine'.
Beckham also has the number seven tattooed in roman numerals on his other forearm, with the Latin phrase 'Ut Amem Et Foveam', which translates to “So That I Love and Cherish.”
On his right wrist he has 'VIII.V.MMVI', a tattoo which represents May 8, 2006 - the date he and Victoria took part in a secret commitment ceremony.
Beckham's body tattoos
In 2011, Beckham had a large chest-piece added to his collection. He opted for an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz.
“It’s Jesus being carried by three cherubs and obviously the cherubs are my boys and so my thought of it is that at some point my boys are going to need to look after me and that’s what they’re doing in the picture," Beckham previously said. "It means a lot.”
On the other side there is an image which is a lady immersed in a forest, though the meaning of this piece is unknown.
Beckham has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols, which translates as “Death and life have determined appointments. Riches and honor depend upon heaven.” He also has the year he was born, 1975, a tribute to his mother and father and the words 'We Love You Daddy'.
He has another piece dedicated to his father under his right armpit, a ship at full mast - an identical piece to which his father has tattooed.
Slightly below the ship is another religious piece, a bible script on covering his rib-cage. On the other side, Beckham has an eagle in flight, and the head of an Indian chief.
Beckham also has a black and white representation of Jesus on his way to be crucified based on the famous painting “The Man of Sorrows", as a tribute to his grandfather who passed away in 2010.
Beckham's back tattoos
Beckham has a number of back tattoos, with the guardian angel between his shoulder blades representing his first piece of body art.
Beneath this, he has the name of his youngest son, Cruz, and the name of his eldest, Brooklyn, across his lower back.
Above the guardian angel tattoo, to which he later had wings added to, is the name of middle son, Romeo.
Beckham's hand tattoos
Beckham has the word 'Love' written in large letters across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side.
He also has the words 'Lead with love', and the numbers '723', a combination of his famous shirt numbers seven and 23. The word 'seven' figures on his index figure, the number '7' is on his little finger and a rose is inked on his ring finger.
He has a hummingbird on his right hand, along with the name of his wife, Victoria, and the words 'Dream big, be unrealistic'. Beckham also has the number '32', the shirt he wore when on loan at AC Milan.
On his little finger, he has '99' tattooed - the year he married - while he has a small female stick-figure on the inside of his hand, designed by his daughter, Harper.
Beckham's foot and ankle tattoos
One of Beckham's newest pieces comes in the shape of two angels on the inside of his leg, stretching across his shin.
Beckham has a large amount of religious-inspired tattoos across his body, with this one a detailed image of a male and female angel wrapped tightly together while running free.
Also on his left leg, the United legend has a lion's face on his quad and a bird on his calf.
How many tattoos does David Beckham have?
At the time of writing, the former England star is believed to have over 60 tattoos, though this number is likely to continue to grow.
Brooklyn Beckham tattoos
Following in his father's footsteps, David's eldest son, Brooklyn, has started to decorate his body.
The 23-year-old, who is a keen photographer and part-time model, has a camera on his arm and the word 'Click' on his shutter finger, as well as a large cupid design on his torso.
Brooklyn also has the words 'Made in England' printed across his foot, a rose across his rib-cage, and a compass on the inside of his arm.
He also has a similar Indian chief tattoo as his dad tattooed onto his forearm, '1975' on his hand, a tribute to his mother on his shoulder, 'buster' over his belly button, and a number of other small prints across his body.
“Thankfully I don’t feel I’ve made any [mistakes] with my tattoos. My son’s started and I’m sure he’ll make mistakes," David said. "But it’s part and parcel of life and being creative. That’s something you can’t stop someone doing, it holds them back.”
Brooklyn has continued to add to his tattoo collection in more recent times, getting 'Lover' across his index finger - in a nod to fiancee Nicola Peltz - along with the message 'Our Little Bubble' on his upper-right hand.
He also has rosary beeds on his hand, words from a love letter penned by Peltz and the phrase 'My life, my love, my truth, my breath, my reason, my beauty, my precious' on his right arm.
Romeo Beckham tattoos
Brooklyn's younger brother, Romeo, has taken inspiration from his famous father when it comes to starting his collection.
The 19-year-old, who is forging his own professional football career at Inter Miami II, has had angel wings and a cross inked onto his neck - a design which mirrors David's.
Romeo also has a bird alongside the words 'Lead with love' on his hand.
Victoria Beckham tattoos
David's love for body art is obviously shared by his wife, Victoria, as the former Spice Girl has a number of tattoos herself.
She has five stars printed across her lower back, a Hebrew piece running down the back of her neck, and various other pieces on her arms and hands.
Victoria has David's initials on her left wrist, as well as another Hebrew phrase which translates as 'Together, forever, eternally'; a mark of her 10-year marriage anniversary with David.
She has the same VIII-V-MMVI tattoo which David has on her other wrist, and the words “De Integro" next to it.
Who is David Beckham's tattooist?
While a few tattoo artists have worked on Beckham over the years, it is Mark Mahoney of Shamrock Social Club who has been a recent go-to man.
His parlour in Los Angeles has seen some of the biggest names in the world walk through its doors, with Johnny Depp, Lady Gaga and Rihanna all regulars.
“I have a a handful of people who will get tattooed all the time, but not as much as David,” Mahoney told the Daily Star. "He is the only one who doesn’t feel pain. He sits amazing and is the ideal customer. He makes for good conversation at the same time. It’s as if he’s at one with the universe when he’s getting tattooed. He is very tough.”
The majority of Beckham's tattoos have been produced by Louis Malloy, however, one of the most highly-regarded tattoo artists in the UK. Molloy owns a studio in Manchester and was the artist behind Beckham's early body art.
Other artists who have worked on Beckham's body are a tattoo artist named Gabe, owner of Ace Dragon Tattoo in Hong Kong, and LA's Dr. Woo - who is now working on Romeo.

June Brown: EastEnders' Dot Cotton dies aged 95
- Published
Actress June Brown, who played the much-loved character Dot Cotton on EastEnders for more than three decades, has died at the age of 95.
Her family said they were "deeply saddened" to announce that their "beloved mother" had died "very peacefully" at her home on Sunday.
EastEnders actor Adam Woodyatt described her as an "incredible woman".
Dot Cotton was one of the BBC One soap's longest-running characters and a favourite with viewers.
Brown first appeared in the series in 1985, the year EastEnders was created.
She stayed until 1993, returning to play the same character from 1997 until 2020.
An EastEnders spokesperson said: "There are not enough words to describe how much June was loved and adored by everyone at EastEnders, her loving warmth, wit and great humour will never be forgotten.
"June created one of the most iconic characters in Dot Cotton, not just in soap but in British television, and having appeared in 2884 episodes, June's remarkable performances created some of EastEnders finest moments."
One of EastEnders' best-known stars, Brown was in her late 50s when she joined Albert Square.
Actor Leslie Grantham, who played Dirty Den, suggested her for the role. Until then, Brown's career had incorporated stage, film and television, with appearances in Coronation Street and Doctor Who.
Some of her biggest storylines included Nasty Nick's murder plot, when her son, played by John Altman, planned to poison her so he could steal her big bingo winnings to use on drugs. He changed his mind at the last minute.
One of her most moving and controversial moments came when her close friend Ethel, who was terminally ill, asked Dot to help her take an overdose of morphine to end her life.
Dot wrestled with her Christian beliefs but ultimately decided to leave out morphine pills for Ethel to take.
Her relationship with husband Jim Branning, played by the late John Bardon, was much cherished by fans of the soap.
Brown remained a favourite with viewers for years, but during a podcast interview in February 2020, she confirmed that she had left the series "for good".
In the last episode she featured in, Dot Cotton - or Dot Branning - left a voicemail message for another character, Sonia Fowler, saying she had moved to Ireland.
Following the news of Brown's death, Woodyatt - who played Ian Beale in the soap for 35 years - said in a statement: "I'm lost for words, something June never was.
"So many memories, so much fun. Just purely and simply an incredible woman who had the most incredible life and career, I was fortunate to have shared a small part of it. They never made you a Dame (we did try), but to me you will always be Dame Brown."
Gillian Taylforth, who plays Kathy Beale in the BBC soap, said: "I'm truly heartbroken by this news. June Brown OBE, MBE, was an amazing woman and a truly wonderful actress. I shared many scenes with her over the years and she was always someone I looked up to and learnt from. There will never be another June Brown and I'm sending all my love to her family."
Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said EastEnders star June Brown was a "true national treasure".
"There was nobody quite like June Brown. She captured the zeitgeist of British culture like no other in her many years on our screens," she said.
"Today we've lost a true national treasure but my goodness what a life she has led. Rest in peace."
EastEnders executive producer Chris Clenshaw said Brown was an "iconic" character both on and off screen.
The BBC's director-general Tim Davie said: "June Brown was a brilliantly talented actor who was loved by millions. Her performances as the incomparable Dot Cotton delivered some of the most memorable moments in soap history."
"Our thoughts are with her family and many friends."
After she left the soap, Brown starred in a Christmas drama podcast in December 2020 as part of a series about family separation during the pandemic.
She played the mother of a son with Down's syndrome in the play, which explored the strains of the mother-son relationship during enforced isolation.

Due to the war with Russia, the state budget of Ukraine alone loses 2 billion hryvnias every day.
This was stated by Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal in an interview with "NV".
In particular, the loss in infrastructure during the month of the war, previously, amounted to $ 119 billion.
"If we add military losses and increased military and social spending, support programs, economic and enterprise losses, then we are talking about $ 565 billion," he said.
He notes that the losses due to fighting are changing daily. But the total amount exceeds $ 0.5 trillion.

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
David Donovan, University of Tennessee and Livia Casali, University of Tennessee
(THE CONVERSATION) Scientists at a laboratory in England have shattered the record for the amount of energy produced during a controlled, sustained fusion reaction. The production of 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds at the Joint European Torus – or JET – experiment in England has been called “a breakthrough” by some news outlets and caused quite a lot of excitement among physicists. But a common line regarding fusion electricity production is that it is “always 20 years away.”
We are a nuclear physicist and a nuclear engineer who study how to develop controlled nuclear fusion for the purpose of generating electricity.
The JET result demonstrates remarkable advancements in the understanding of the physics of fusion. But just as importantly, it shows that the new materials used to construct the inner walls of the fusion reactor worked as intended. The fact that the new wall construction performed as well as it did is what separates these results from previous milestones and elevates magnetic fusion from a dream toward a reality.
Fusing particles together
Nuclear fusion is the merging of two atomic nuclei into one compound nucleus. This nucleus then breaks apart and releases energy in the form of new atoms and particles that speed away from the reaction. A fusion power plant would capture the escaping particles and use their energy to generate electricity.
There are a few different ways to safely control fusion on Earth. Our research focuses on the approach taken by JET – using powerful magnetic fields to confine atoms until they are heated to a high enough temperature for them to fuse.
The fuel for current and future reactors are two different isotopes of hydrogen – meaning they have the one proton, but different numbers of neutrons – called deuterium and tritium. Normal hydrogen has one proton and no neutrons in its nucleus. Deuterium has one proton and one neutron while tritium has one proton and two neutrons.
For a fusion reaction to be successful, the fuel atoms must first become so hot that the electrons break free from the nuclei. This creates plasma – a collection of positive ions and electrons. You then need to keep heating that plasma until it reaches a temperature over 200 million degrees Fahrenheit (100 million Celsius). This plasma must then be kept in a confined space at high densities for a long enough period of time for the fuel atoms to collide into each other and fuse together.
To control fusion on Earth, researchers developed donut-shaped devices – called tokamaks – which use magnetic fields to contain the plasma. Magnetic field lines wrapping around the inside of the donut act like train tracks that the ions and electrons follow. By injecting energy into the plasma and heating it up, it is possible to accelerate the fuel particles to such high speeds that when they collide, instead of bouncing off each other, the fuel nuclei fuse together. When this happens, they release energy, primarily in the form of fast-moving neutrons.
During the fusion process, fuel particles gradually drift away from the hot, dense core and eventually collide with the inner wall of the fusion vessel. To prevent the walls from degrading due to these collisions – which in turn also contaminates the fusion fuel – reactors are built so that they channel the wayward particles toward a heavily armored chamber called the divertor. This pumps out the diverted particles and removes any excess heat to protect the tokamak.
The walls are important
A major limitation of past reactors has been the fact that divertors can’t survive the constant particle bombardment for more than a few seconds. To make fusion power work commercially, engineers need to build a tokamak vessel that will survive for years of use under the conditions necessary for fusion.
The divertor wall is the first consideration. Though the fuel particles are much cooler when they reach the divertor, they still have enough energy to knock atoms loose from the wall material of the divertor when they collide with it. Previously, JET’s divertor had a wall made of graphite, but graphite absorbs and traps too much of the fuel for practical use.
Around 2011, engineers at JET upgraded the divertor and inner vessel walls to tungsten. Tungsten was chosen in part because it has the highest melting point of any metal – an extremely important trait when the divertor is likely to experience heat loads nearly 10 times higher than the nose cone of a space shuttle reentering the Earth’s atmosphere. The inner vessel wall of the tokamak was upgraded from graphite to beryllium. Beryllium has excellent thermal and mechanical properties for a fusion reactor – it absorbs less fuel than graphite but can still withstand the high temperatures.
The energy JET produced was what made the headlines, but we’d argue it is in fact the use of the new wall materials which make the experiment truly impressive because future devices will need these more robust walls to operate at high power for even longer periods of time. JET is a successful proof of concept for how to build the next generation of fusion reactors.
The next fusion reactors
The JET tokamak is the largest and most advanced magnetic fusion reactor currently operating. But the next generation of reactors is already in the works, most notably the ITER experiment, set to begin operations in 2027. ITER – which is Latin for “the way” – is under construction in France and funded and directed by an international organization that includes the U.S.
ITER is going to put to use many of the material advances JET showed to be viable. But there are also some key differences. First, ITER is massive. The fusion chamber is 37 feet (11.4 meters) tall and 63 feet (19.4 meters) around – more than eight times larger than JET. In addition, ITER will utilize superconducting magnets capable of producing stronger magnetic fields for longer periods of time compared to JET’s magnets. With these upgrades, ITER is expected to smash JET’s fusion records – both for energy output and how long the reaction will run.
ITER is also expected to do something central to the idea of a fusion powerplant: produce more energy than it takes to heat the fuel. Models predict that ITER will produce around 500 megawatts of power continuously for 400 seconds while only consuming 50 MW of energy to heat the fuel. This mean the reactor produced 10 times more energy than it consumed – a huge improvement over JET, which required roughly three times more energy to heat the fuel than it produced for its recent 59 megajoule record.
JET’s recent record has shown that years of research in plasma physics and materials science have paid off and brought scientists to the doorstep of harnessing fusion for power generation. ITER will provide an enormous leap forward toward the goal of industrial scale fusion power plants.

Newswise — ROCHESTER, Minn. ― In a newly published study appearing in Genetics in Medicine, investigators from Mayo Clinic and Baylor College of Medicine found that targeted genomic information can play an important role in drug prescribing practices.
The results from the "Right Drug, Right Dose, Right Time: Using Genomic Data to Individualize Treatment" (RIGHT 10K) study strongly suggest that preemptive testing could benefit nearly every patient at some point, particularly when the testing extends beyond DNA variants already known to influence drug metabolism.
"Genetic differences can affect how a person processes and responds to medications," says Liewei Wang, M.D., Ph.D., the Bernard and Edith Waterman Director of the Pharmacogenomics Program and Director of the Center for Individualized Medicine at the Mayo Clinic. "The right drug matched to a person's genetic makeup may maximize the drug's therapeutic benefit, but the wrong drug or dose may make a medication ineffective or even fatal." Dr. Wang is the co-first author of the study.
The RIGHT 10K study recruited 10,077 long-term Mayo patients and used their stored samples from the Mayo Clinic Biobank to isolate DNA for the study. The Mayo Clinic Biobank is a collection of samples, including blood and blood derivatives, and health information donated by Mayo Clinic patients. Seventy-seven genes known to be involved in drug metabolism or transport were sequenced, with results from 13 genes placed into the patient's electronic health record (EHR), together with an interpretive report and best practice alerts for 21 drug-gene pairs.
"We found that nearly all of the participants could have benefitted from receiving preemptive pharmacogenomics data and the interpretation report, depending on the drugs their clinician might prescribe," says Dr. Wang.
Benefits of implementing preemptive sequence-based drug-gene testing
Researchers chose to apply targeted DNA sequencing to capture less common genomic variants that could by themselves, or in combination, have significant clinical relevance. The participants' outcomes identified many clinically actionable drug-gene variants and rare unclassified variants in the genomes of every patient.
"If this kind of testing is performed at all, it is generally confined to testing specific DNA nucleotides already known to impact drug efficacy or toxicity. Here, we used a targeted sequencing approach to capture both common, known variants, together with the more numerous, but in most cases, uncharacterized rare variants that may impact drug prescribing practices," says Steve Scherer, Ph.D., a professor in Baylor College of Medicine's Human Genome Sequencing Center and Department of Molecular and Human Genetics. "In time, a number of these rare variants will be reclassified into the 'known' category." Dr. Scherer is a co-first author of the study.
Further key findings include:
- Greater than 99% of study participants carried a clinically actionable variant within the 13 genes written to their EHR.
- 79% had three or more of these variants.
- Each participant, on average, was found to have at least another three predicted harmful rare variants in these genes.
Testing and reporting of predicted phenotypes included two critical but highly polymorphic and complex testing targets: CYP2D6 and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region. CYP2D6is involved in the metabolism or processing of up to 25% of all drugs marketed. The HLA region is involved in several of the most severe adverse event episodes observed to date.
Based on the sequencing data, 2,782 clinically actionable eConsults were sent to primary care health care professionals who accepted 54% of the pharmacists' semiurgent eConsult recommendations.
"The research suggested potential benefit if drug-gene data were available at the time medications for those patients were prescribed," says Richard Weinshilboum, M.D., co-corresponding author of the study. "Most of these patients had been on their therapy regimen for some time, so their drug therapy might have already been altered in response to either the occurrence of an adverse reaction or lack of efficacy."
Implementing pharmacogenomics into clinical care
This study is a testament to what can be accomplished by large collaborative efforts, according to Richard Gibbs, Ph.D., Wofford Cain Professor of Molecular and Human Genetics and Director of the Human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Gibbs is a co-corresponding author of the study.
"Our center has a long history of translating genomic research into clinical application, and together with the Mayo Clinic team, we have shown that pharmacogenomics can be successfully used in clinical care," Dr. Gibbs says.
Dr. Weinshilboum says this study is a steppingstone in developing the foundations necessary to use DNA sequencing in helping to guide clinical care. Key components in the successful implementation of this study included pharmacogenomics education programs for medical staff, information technology support to build and implement the data pipelines and integrate with the EHR, and test reports that were quickly understood by clinicians. According to Richard Sharp, Ph.D., a co-author of the study, it will also be critical to provide genetic education and support to patients who receive pharmacogenomic results. In a companion study, Dr. Sharp and his team in Biomedical Ethics are examining patient understandings of pharmacogenomic results.
What's ahead for pharmacogenomics?
The researchers state that the future of pharmacogenomics will almost certainly include machine learning-based predictive algorithms that use clinical and genomic information with other data types.
"Pharmacogenomics will extend well beyond genotypes for the small number of genes included in the 21 drug-gene pair alerts we studied," explains Dr. Wang. "I believe pharmacogenomics promises to become a standard component of clinical practice that will help the health care team optimize pharmacotherapies for all patients."
Funding and support
This work was supported by Mayo Clinic's Center for Individualized Medicine, the Mayo Clinic Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery, and Mayo Clinic Pharmacy Services, as well as the Augeo Foundation; the Satter Foundation; Bernard E. and Edith B. Waterman; William G. Little; Roche Diagnostics Corp.; and National Science Foundation grant No. 2041339. This work also was supported by these National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants: U19 GM61388 (Pharmacogenomics Research Network); R01 GM28157, U01 HG005137, R01 GM125633 and R01 AG034676 (Rochester Epidemiology Project); and U01 HG06379 and U01 HG06379 (Supplements the Electronic Medical Record and Genomics Network).
Ethics statement
All study participants were recruited from the Mayo Clinic Biobank, and informed consent was obtained under Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board approval. Participants agreed to use their stored biobank samples for clinical pharmacogenomic testing, deposit pharmacogenomic results into their EHR for clinical use, and use deidentified pharmacogenomic data for research. The study team also identified, and continues to study, variants of unknown significance in these important pharmacogenes.
Conflict of interest disclosures
Drs. Wang and Weinshilboum, as well as John Logan Black III, M.D., are co-founders of, and stockholders in, OneOme LLC, which was used only to return results to study participants. Additionally, Dr. Black III and Mayo Clinic have applied for a patent on the CNVAR software cited in this study as well as the methodology upon which the software is based.

Mega cap stocks are usually the biggest and best-known companies in the world. In technical terms, these are the companies with a market cap of more than $200 billion. It is always preferable to have one or more of such stocks in one’s portfolio because of the stability they offer. They may not offer much return in the short term, but over a longer period, such stocks are more likely to offer attractive returns. Many of these stocks are out of the reach of most investors because of their high price, but a good time to initiate a fresh position in the mega cap stocks is when they are down. So, let’s take a look at the ten worst performing mega cap stocks in March 2022.

7 Manufacturing Stocks That Will Overcome Current DifficultiesThe manufacturing industry was one of the hardest hits in 2020. In the initial months of the coronavirus pandemic, many companies were forced to shutter operations. However, opportunistic investors kept their eye on several of these companies as recovery stocks. And at the beginning of 2021, the emergence of several vaccines allowed businesses to reopen. Not surprisingly, manufacturing stocks were among the biggest winners.
But where are these stocks headed in 2022? In December, American manufacturers reported their slowest pace of growth in 11 months. A closely followed index of U.S.-based manufacturers dropped to 58.7% in the final month of 2021. This was slightly lower than the 61.1% in November according to the Institute for Supply Management.
Still, any number of above 50% signals expansion. And the number is only slightly below the 60% level that signifies exceptional growth.
Ironically, it’s the virus that continues to provide a headwind. Supply chains are unwinding but not nearly fast enough to prevent material shortages. The controversy surrounding vaccine mandates is causing labor shortages.
However, there’s a strong likelihood that manufacturing stocks will have a strong year in 2022. And even if they don’t, many of these stocks pay a reliable dividend. That’s why we’ve put together this special presentation on the manufacturing stocks that will overcome current difficulties.

PacBio Enters Agricultural Industry Collaboration with Corteva Agriscience to Develop High-Throughput Plant, Pest and Microbial Sequencing
The companies will leverage high-throughput whole genome HiFi sequencing for advanced plant biotechnology, breeding and crop protection product development
MENLO PARK, Calif., April 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PacBio (NASDAQ: PACB), a leading provider of high-quality, highly accurate sequencing platforms, announced today a new collaboration with global agriculture company, Corteva Agriscience, to develop custom, end-to-end workflows for plant, pest and microbial sequencing. The project focuses on establishing high-throughput workflows in DNA extraction and library preparation in alignment with the tens of thousands of samples sequenced annually as part of Corteva’s seed and crop protection research and production pipelines.
“This collaboration will allow us to help Corteva Agriscience characterize complex plant and microbial genomes more efficiently,” said Christian Henry, President and Chief Executive Officer of PacBio. “We are proud to provide a sequencing platform to Corteva Agriscience for use in its development of products that help farmers modernize agriculture while driving productivity gains for farmers and resiliency to help solve the problem of feeding the world.”
As the world’s population expands and a greater burden is put on food production, new methods are needed to keep pace with agricultural demand. Scientists are turning to modern genomics technology to sustainably meet this challenge. Biological insights gleaned from high-quality genomic data are used to characterize genes of interest, enhance marker development, and combat pests and diseases at the molecular level.
“We see great potential in digital technologies, new seed product development tools like CRISPR-Cas gene editing, and the next generation of crop protection solutions,” said Greg May, Genomics Technologies Lead at Corteva Agriscience. “Genome sequencing technology, especially when it has both long read lengths and high accuracy, is a key tool to unlocking the potential in these development areas. Using this technology at scale can help speed up the research and product development process. Corteva Agriscience’s expertise in ultra-high throughput sample processing positions the company well to quickly and effectively implement these novel genomic workflows.”
The initial phase of the collaboration, aimed for completion in the third quarter of 2022, will be developing the scaled DNA extraction and library preparation workflows to take advantage of the extensive collection of Corteva crop, pest and microbial samples. Upon success in the development of these workflows, the collaboration will look to expand sequencing capabilities alongside the sample preparation workflows.
“Working together with the industry-leading R&D organization at Corteva Agriscience to address the unique challenges of plant and microbial DNA extraction and library preparation is the most efficient route to implementing high-quality, long read genomics at scale,” commented Jonas Korlach, Chief Scientific Officer at PacBio.

Western Province’s kanse of playing in this year’s CSA 1Day Challenge final washed out yesterday, as their match against the Titans at Centurion Park rained out.
After beating neighbours the Rocks by 17 runs on Friday, the fourth-placed Province had to beat their hosts yesterday to stand a chance of making this week’s final.
But after 20 overs and with the Titans’ score reading 110/2, the match was called, leaving Western Province to tweet: “Match has been abandoned, therefore unfortunately we cannot make the finals.”
The Titans finished at the top of the pile, with Province ending the tournament in fourth place after three wins from seven matches and two no-results.
The top two teams play in the final on Wednesday.

The Lafayette Hotel in San Diego’s trendy North Park district wants you, and it isn’t afraid to appeal to your sense of nostalgia. It is one of many new hotel projects vying for your booking this summer.
Pay no heed to the swimming pool designed by Olympic medalist and “Tarzan” actor Johnny Weissmuller. And ignore the pictures of the hotel’s founder hobnobbing with Hollywood stars such as Ava Gardner and Bob Hope.
On a recent afternoon, the hotel’s general manager, Dieter Hissin, led me downstairs, past the hotel’s signature attractions, and into an aging ballroom. “This is where they filmed the scene in the movie ‘Top Gun,’” he explains. “You know, where Tom Cruise sings ‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’’ to Kelly McGillis.”
The Lafayette, which is in the middle of a top-to-bottom renovation, is restoring the bar just in time for the release of a “Top Gun” sequel in May. Hissin says the timing is right to bring ’80s-loving tourists back to the Lafayette.
He’s not the only hotel general manager wondering how to get travelers back.
“Hotels are getting creative,” says Jennifer Dohm, a spokesperson for Hotels.com. As resorts look to the summer travel season, they are adding new room experiences, introducing promotional rates and waiving fees.
There’s a reason for the creativity: The past two years have been difficult for hotels, with many travelers opting for staycations and vacation rentals over more traditional accommodations. Hotels that cater to corporate travelers have suffered the most and are looking to 2022 as a way to fast-track their recovery.
“For hotels, marketing promotions are a tried-and-true way of attracting guests,” says Amanda Belarmino, an assistant professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. “Many hotels used the closures as an opportunity to renovate their properties, and many of these properties are seeing benefits from these changes.”
The folks in marketing know they can’t turn you into a guest without first getting your attention. If a new look, attraction or amenity will do it, then they’re willing to try.
The Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles last year unveiled recent renovations, which cost $2.5 billion. Everything at the Fairmont, except maybe the modernist facade, is new. It cut the number of rooms roughly in half, to 400, added a new spa, and opened Lumière, a French restaurant. The hotel’s owners hope to turn it into the hottest property in LA as the pandemic wanes, and they’re looking at this summer as an opportunity to recapture its glory days. That’s a tall order, but a few billion dollars definitely puts the Fairmont in contention.
The Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club in Bermuda has traditionally seen itself as an oasis for culture-seeking travelers; it features about 300 original works of art from artists including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Pablo Picasso. Last year, the hotel kicked it up a notch, offering an art-inspired package that includes a private tour of the hotel’s collection, plus art-inspired amenities and passes to the Bermuda National Gallery. Executives hope those packages will inspire more visitors as travel picks up.
CitizenM, the Netherlands-based boutique hotel chain that opened its first Los Angeles property Aug. 23, hired a curator to add original art to its rooms and marked its opening with an exhibit by local photographer Corinne Schiavone, whose images appeared on the hotel’s facade. Not to be outdone, the hypermodern Dream Hollywood hotel, in conjunction with the Crypt Gallery, unveiled an NFT art gallery in August — the hotel has a massive wall of screens with the non-fungible tokens in its lobby — featuring works from some of Los Angeles’ top digital artists.
Other properties looking to increase their appeal are looking backward rather than forward. Late last year, the Alexandrian, a luxury hotel in Alexandria, Virginia, introduced a package that allows guests to book an evening in its Carlyle Suite and get treated like 1920s royalty. There’s a car with a private driver, monogrammed bathrobes and sparkling wine on ice. There’s also a VIP dining experience in the cocktail garden with a custom tasting menu from its on-site restaurant, King & Rye. Rates start at $5,000 a night.
Will these gambits work? Maybe, maybe not.
In the end, good customer service is the bottom line for hotels, whatever novelties they offer returning travelers. Guests such as Kristen Bello have noticed some changes in their hotel experiences, such as improved cleaning protocols and countless promises to keep rooms “COVID clean.” But that’s about it, says the retired teacher from Raleigh, North Carolina.
“I haven’t seen anything that would make me think that hotels are trying to gain my business — yet,” she says.
Hotels know they can’t just offer a glitzy weekend package and expect travelers such as Bello to overlook bad service. We’re about to find out if all the effort was worth it.

Bengaluru: Former Karnataka IPS Officer B. Bhaskar Rao, who took voluntary retire-ment from service recently, plunged into politics by joining the Aam Admi Party (AAP) at New Delhi this afternoon in the presence of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other top party leaders.
A 1990 batch Karnataka cadre IPS Officer, Bhaskar Rao, who was serving as ADGP (Railways), had applied for voluntary retirement in September last, which was approved by the Government only last week. Now just a few days after his voluntary retirement, Rao has made his political debut by joining AAP.
Rao had previously served as Bengaluru Police Commissioner in 2019-20 and as Mysuru City Police Commissioner for about 7 months in 2007.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk takes a 9% stake in Twitter
(AP) - Tesla CEO Elon Musk has taken a 9.2% stake in Twitter to become its largest shareholder after raising questions about the social media platform’s dedication to free speech.
The goal of Musk’s 73.5 million share purchase worth $2.9 billion, based on the closing price Friday, is not clear. Yet in recent weeks Musk has raised questions about free speech on Twitter and if failing to adhere to its basic principles undermines democracy.
The regulatory filing Monday describes Musk as a long-term investor looking to minimize his buying and selling of the shares.
He has also pondered starting a rival social media network, and industry analysts are skeptical about whether the mercurial CEO would remain on the sidelines for long.
“We would expect this passive stake as just the start of broader conversations with the Twitter board/management that could ultimately lead to an active stake and a potential more aggressive ownership role of Twitter,” Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities said in a client note early Monday.
Twitter’s stock surged 20% before the opening bell Monday.
Musk told his more than 80 million followers on Twitter that he was " giving serious thought " to creating his own social media platform and has clashed repeatedly with financial regulators about his use of Twitter.
His Twitter stock purchase comes as Musk is locked into a bitter dispute with U.S. securities regulators over his ability to post on Twitter. Musk’s lawyer has contended in court motions that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is infringing on the Tesla CEO’s First Amendment rights.
In October of 2018, Musk and Tesla agreed to pay $40 million in civil fines and for Musk to have his tweets approved by a corporate lawyer after he tweeted about having the money to take Tesla private at $420 per share.
The funding was far from secured and the electric vehicle company remains public, but Tesla’s stock price jumped. The settlement specified governance changes, including Musk’s ouster as board chairman, as well as pre-approval of his tweets. The SEC brought a securities fraud charge, alleging that Musk was manipulating the stock price with his posts.
Musk’s lawyer is now asking a U.S. District Court judge in Manhattan to throw out the settlement, contending that the SEC is harassing him and infringing on his First Amendment rights.
Early in March, Musk asked Judge Alison Nathan to nullify an SEC subpoena and throw out the settlement agreement. His lawyer, Alex Spiro, said the SEC has used the court agreement “to trample on Mr. Musk’s First Amendment rights and to impose prior restraints on his speech.”
The SEC responded in a court motion, saying it has legal authority to subpoena Tesla and Musk about his tweets, and that Musk’s move to throw out the settlement is not valid.
The SEC disclosed that it is investigating Musk’s Nov. 6, 2021 tweets that asked followers whether he should sell 10% of his Tesla stake. The commission confirmed that it issued administrative subpoenas while investigating whether Musk and Tesla are complying with disclosure controls in the 2018 agreement.
The commission also is investigating whether Tesla described accurately in public filings with the agency whether it complied with the controls.
The commission maintains that the subpoenas were lawful, and that Musk isn’t following proper legal procedure to challenge them. SEC attorney Melissa Armstrong called Musk’s challenge “frivolous,” and pointed out that Musk and Tesla agreed to have his tweets pre-approved by other company officials.
“Courts have long recognized that ‘congress has vested the SEC with broad authority to conduct investigations into possible violations of federal securities laws and to demand production of evidence relevant to such investigations,’” Armstrong wrote.
The subpoenas, issued under seal, come from a formal order by the commission authorizing the investigation. They seek all written communications concerning the Nov. 6 tweets and whether they were shown to Tesla lawyers for pre-approval.
Musk attorney Spiro has asked for verbal arguments in the case.
Musk’s revelation about his stake in Twitter shares comes two days after Tesla Inc. posted first-quarter delivery numbers. While the company delivered 310,000 vehicles in the period, the figure was slightly below expectations.

Ukrainian mayor ‘executed with her husband’ as Russia ‘abducts 11 community leaders’
The mayor’s husband was reportedly found dead with his hands behind his back
Russian troops shot dead the mayor of Motyzhyn, a town 30 miles west of Kyiv, along with her husband and son, according to claims from local residents.
The bodies were reportedly thrown into a pit in a pine forest behind houses where Russian forces had slept, The Associated Press said.
The mayor’s husband had his hands behind his back, with a piece of rope nearby, and a piece of plastic wrapped around his eyes like a blindfold, the news agency reported.
Journalists found four bodies inside the pit, all of whom seemed to have been shot at close range.
Ukraine’s deputy prime minister Iryna Vereshchuk said that the mayor, Olga Sukhenko, had been killed while being held by Russian forces.
She added in a video message posted on her Telegram account that eleven other local community leaders across the country have been kidnapped by the Russian army.
Speaking on Sunday, Ms Vereshchuk said: “Up to today, 11 heads of local communities in the regions of Kyiv, Kherson, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv and Donetsk are in captivity.
“We are informing the International Committee of the Red Cross, the UN, all possible organisations, just like for the other civilians who have disappeared.”
Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Monday that the discovery of civilians’ bodies in Bucha and Irpin, some with their hands tied behind their backs, should be classified as a genocide.
Mr Morawiecki said Russia’s invasion was “pure evil” and supported the establishment of an international commission to investigate Russian crimes committed in Ukraine.
French president Emmanuel Macron said there were “clear indications of war crimes” in Bucha, and called for further sanctions on Russia.
The Ukrainian government has accused Russia’s armed forces of carrying out a “genocide”.
Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said: “[The] Bucha massacre was deliberate. We are still gathering and looking for bodies, but the number has already gone into the hundreds.
“Dead bodies lie on the streets. They killed civilians while staying there and when they were leaving these villages and towns.”

The pandemic sent global hunger soaring, but now the war in Ukraine is making the problem far worse. Since Russia and Ukraine together supply 30% of global wheat exports, a big chunk of the world is losing access to food.
Now one of the nation’s biggest foundations is trying to deal with some of these challenges with a $105 million plan to improve food access, make nutritious and healthy food more widely available, and advance production of food in ways that does not harm the planet.
Rajiv Shah, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, said the commitment is the biggest nutrition effort in Rockefeller’s history. Over the next three years, the Good Food Strategy aims to ensure that 40 million people around the world have better access to healthy and sustainable food.
“Because of climate change, food prices were already the highest in a decade, even before Russia’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine further decimated global food supplies. Now the world is on the precipice of a global humanitarian crisis,” Shah said in a statement.
The foundation and other experts say the way the world produces and consumes food is failing people and the planet. So it came up with a new strategy it hopes will shift the focus from increasing the quantity of food to improving its quality.
Rockefeller aims not just to increase access to affordable and healthy food but also to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in the food system and expand opportunities for small food-production businesses to thrive.
The foundation has some innovative approaches to accomplishing those goals. For instance, it plans to:
— Encourage doctors to prescribe fruits and vegetables instead of drugs when appropriate since they can be both healthier and cheaper. Ten health insurance companies are working with Rockefeller to test the idea.
— Pay for healthy foods at schools, hospitals, prisons, and other state government facilities.
— Help farmers switch their production practices to approaches that reduce carbon from being released into the air after they plow the ground.
— Fund more small and medium-size food businesses to diversify the distributors and prevent supply-chain issues.
The announcement builds on one of philanthropy’s most successful efforts, the Green Revolution of the 1960s.
Rockefeller financed the technology that helped fuel production of food in a way that averted starvation in the world’s poorest countries. However, it lacked sustainability and equity. That’s what today’s effort is designed to tackle, foundation officials say.
Barron Segar, president of the World Food Program USA, agrees that something needs to be done now. Rockefeller gave the program $3.3 million in 2021 to supply nutritious food for school food programs in Africa.
“We’re facing the biggest crisis we’ve ever faced around food insecurity,” Segar said. “There are 811 million people today who don’t have access to quality food, and they don’t know where their next meal is coming from. We’re at a very pivotal moment in history where we have 45 million people that are marching toward starvation.”
Last year, Rockefeller published a report to evaluate all the ways food systems in the United States affect health, the environment, biodiversity, and livelihoods. It found that Americans paid an estimated $1.1 trillion of the cost of producing, processing, retailing, and wholesaling of food in 2019. But if other costs, like the food system’s impact on climate change were included, the cost would be $3.2 trillion a year.
One of Rockefeller’s grantees has been carrying out some of the ideas that are part of the Good Food Strategy.
FoodCorps, which received at least $500,000 from the foundation last year for its work to provide healthy food to kids in school, has already had some success in influencing food policy.
In California, FoodCorps advocated for passage of Free School Meals for All Act last year. And in Connecticut, the nonprofit helped the state achieve its first farm-to-school grant program, which will put more local foods in school meals, give educators more resources to teach students about nutrition, and sustain relationships with local farmers and producers.
Rockefeller is also working with Kaiser Permanente, a healthcare company, on its Food as Medicine program. A combined investment of more than $2 million will go toward three research studies that will evaluate healthy food-prescription programs for participants who suffer from or are at risk for diet-related diseases. Both groups are also building evidence to prove prescriptions of produce are healthier and cheaper in some cases than traditional drugs.
“Everyone needs and deserves access to healthy food they can afford,” said Pamela Schwartz, an executive director at Kaiser.
Another element of the Rockefeller plan is to focus on changing the mix of who produces food.
Roy Steiner, senior vice president of Rockefeller’s food grants work, said the pandemic has revealed how fragile supply chains are. And it doesn’t help that only a few large food distributors monopolize the industry, he says. Diversifying power and wealth in the food industry is healthier for the economy, he said, which is why part of the Good Food Strategy is to prioritize small and medium-size food businesses.
“It needs to be a diversity of crops that can be grown by a diversity of farmers,” Steiner said. “Therefore, when things break down, you have multiple players and multiple sources of supply.”
The pandemic isn’t the only crisis that has worsened hunger. Climate change and the conflicts in Ethiopia, Yemen, and Ukraine have also contributed, says Steiner.
“We would not be in such a crisis if we had more regenerative and distributed systems,” he said.
Segar, who visited the Ukraine-Poland border last weekend, said the World Food Program is pushing to feed 3.1 million people in Ukraine. Food and drinking water shortages are reported in Kyiv and in Kharkiv, two cities bearing the brunt of the war. However, the World Food Program’s resources are starting to dwindle.
Segar said the Rockefeller Foundation takes an original approach to improving food production, and it’s one that his organization is working to adopt. The foundation not only gives money, he said, but educates the public about food and uses data and research to make decisions. He referenced Rockefeller’s “True Cost of Food” report, which analyzes the impact food has on people and the planet. Segar also cites Rockefeller’s Periodic Table of Food, an effort to create a database that breaks down food composition.
Segar said his organization was able to use what it learned from Rockefeller and teach communities in Central America about healthy meals.
Segar said the World Food Program and Rockefeller both want to create a food system that everyone can afford and have access to.
“The right nutrition at the right time can save lives,” Segar said.

Any fracking in Lancashire must have community consent, minister says
Any decision on the role of fracking and onshore wind in the Government’s energy strategy will be made with a “large measure of local consent”, the Business Secretary has said.
Speaking ahead of the expected release of the strategy on Thursday, Kwasi Kwarteng told the Sunday Telegraph that local opposition to either option will be taken into account.
No local councils were keen on either Cuadrilla’s Preston New Road or the Roseacre fracking wells, and huge numbers of protestors, including many based locally, opposed fracking in Lancashire at the time the wells were being developed. The flurry of earth tremors associated with the wells subsequently prompted the Government’s temporary ban on fracking. Cuadrilla had been ordered to seal the wells but were granted a reprieve last week.
Mr Kwarteng said: “The thing with onshore wind and with fracking is that it has to be community consent. We don’t live in a totalitarian country where the Government, the man or woman in Whitehall, can say ‘Right, we’re going to do this’, without some large measure of consent from local communities. And in both of those technologies, frankly, there has been considerable local opposition.
“That doesn’t mean to say we’re shutting the door on both, but it does mean that any movement has to have a large measure of local consent.”
He added that, while he would be comfortable living next to a set of wind turbines, that would not overrule any local dissent.
“If there’s a plan in a particular community, it’s what they think that matters. It’s not my aesthetic preference that’s going to determine it.”
Meanwhile Fylde Conservative MP Mark Menzies said drilling at Preston New Road was not the answer to the current spike in energy bills and concerns of gas supply caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
He said: “The amount of gas which can be extracted at Preston New Road will not make any difference to prices on the European wholesale market.
“It would take years and dozens of wells across our countryside for fracking to influence prices. During that time we can be ramping up production in the North Sea and developing nuclear power and renewables, the real answer to UK energy security.”

“Novels arise out of the shortcomings of history,” Novalis said. It was subtle of Penelope Fitzgerald to use this as the epigraph for her historical novel about the poet, “The Blue Flower,” implying, as it does, the novel’s best powers of restoration. History is full of destruction and certain death, but fictional people may live forever, in an eternal redemption. And recorded history struggles to capture not only unwritten lives but unwritten thoughts, very often leaving a void around private existence, interiority. The novel gladly rushes in where the angel of history fears to tread.
But the novel has no monopoly on historical correction, and reading Fintan O’Toole’s new book, “We Don’t Know Ourselves: A Personal History of Modern Ireland” (Liveright), is like reading a great tragicomic Irish novel, rich in memoir and record, calamity and critique. The book contains funny and terrible things, details and episodes so pungent that they must surely have been stolen from a fantastical artificer like Flann O’Brien. The pedophile Dublin priest who built a swimming pool in his back garden—in drizzly Ireland!—so that little boys could swim with him. The censoring, all-seeing Archbishop of Dublin who kept a telescope and a magnifying glass in his official residence, and once boasted that, when he used the magnifier to scrutinize “the drawings of women in ads for underwear, it was possible to see the outline of a mons veneris.” The moment, in 1963, when Ireland acquired its first escalator. The fact that Irish viewers could see only a chaste version of “Casablanca” that “cut out all the references to Rick and Ilsa’s passionate love affair in Paris, leaving their motivations entirely mysterious.” The deeply corrupt Prime Minister Charles Haughey, who spent a thousand pounds of someone else’s money a week on dinners with his mistress. The strange fact that Albania got its own television station before Ireland did. The bishop who fled Ireland for a convent in Texas after his lover told the press about their illegitimate son, whom he had refused to acknowledge.
These public events have the irresistible tang of the actual, and around them O’Toole—who has had a substantial career as a journalist, a political commentator, and a drama critic—beautifully tells the private story of his childhood and youth. But because the events really happened, because they are part of Ireland’s shameful, sometimes surreal postwar history, they also have the brutishly obstructive quality of fact, often to be pushed against, fought with, triumphed over, or, in O’Toole’s preferred mode of engagement, analyzed into whimpering submission. His great gift is his extremely intelligent, mortally relentless critical examination, and here he studies nothing less than the past and the present of his own nation. James Joyce’s Stephen Dedalus promised to forge in the smithy of his soul the uncreated conscience of his race; less Parnassian than Dedalus but just as angry as Joyce, O’Toole tells the story of how his race, at last breaking the fetters of religion and superstition, created its own conscience.
O’Toole opens his book in 1958, the year of his birth. He was born into the working classes; his father was a bus conductor and his mother became an office cleaner. The family lived in a newish housing estate, “lined by largely identical two-storey working-class dwellings,” in a suburb southwest of Dublin. The modernity of the housing stock was important: the O’Tooles had electricity, running water, and an indoor lavatory. In a book rippling with extraordinary facts, here are some of the starkest: at the end of the Second World War, two-thirds of Irish homes had no electricity. In the countryside, especially, development was sluggish. The 1961 census revealed that nearly seventy-five per cent of rural homes didn’t have plumbing. At least half these houses “had no fixed lavatory facilities at all, indoor or outdoor.” O’Toole remembers visiting his ninety-eight-year-old great-grandmother in County Wexford: her house had recently been electrified, but the toilet was a dry outhouse that had a plank with a hole in it, and water was brought from a distant pump.
Politically, the Ireland of his childhood appeared to be remarkably stable. It was the triumphant survivor of its Easter Rising struggle, in 1916, against British colonialism, culminating, six years later, in the establishment of the Irish Free State; a wily evader of the ravages of the Second World War (it stayed neutral); a newborn democratic republic where ancient Catholic identity and ancient national identity were fruitfully locked together in place. The state was presided over by its aging founding father, the noble and deeply pious Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Éamon de Valera, who had led forces against British soldiers in the Easter Rising and had been a British prisoner of war. De Valera’s party, Fianna Fáil (Soldiers of Destiny), had comfortably dominated Irish politics since soon after its formation, in 1926.

But Ireland, in O’Toole’s telling, was in crisis, more of a fragile agrarian theocracy than a modern democratic republic. It was not de Valera who was really in charge but the zealous magnifier of women’s private parts, the Archbishop of Dublin, John Charles McQuaid. (O’Toole includes a photograph of de Valera on his knees, kissing McQuaid’s ecclesiastical ring.) Crucially, the country was shrinking. In 1961, its population was less than half the size it had been in 1841. “Three out of five children growing up in Ireland in the 1950s were destined to leave at some point in their lives,” O’Toole notes. Oddly, given the country’s ardent Catholicism, Ireland had very low rates of marriage—perhaps because it also possessed the lowest proportion of women in Europe (women emigrated faster than men). It had a severely uneducated populace (most pupils dropped out of school at the age of fourteen), and a limited, colonial economy, based in large part on exporting beef and other cattle products to Great Britain. “The state founded in revolution and civil war had become remarkably stable,” O’Toole writes. “But it was a stability sustained by radical instability—to keep it as it was, huge parts of the population had to emigrate, for otherwise the sheer weight of their discontented numbers would drag it down.”
O’Toole uses his birth date to plot the country’s tensions and contradictions, drawing the reader’s attention to three symptomatic events that occurred in the week of his birth. Two days before he was born, the Dublin Theatre Festival struck “Bloomsday,” an adaptation of Joyce’s “Ulysses,” from the schedule, when Archbishop McQuaid made his disapproval clear by refusing to mark the festival opening with a special votive mass. (Samuel Beckett withdrew his play in protest.) The second event, while O’Toole’s mother was in labor, took place in England. Masked members of the Irish Republican Army (I.R.A.) raided a British Army camp in Dorset, and bound and gagged ten young soldiers. The episode was relatively trivial, but it portended many years of murder and sorrow. Meanwhile, the government’s minister for industry and commerce, Seán Lemass—like de Valera, a veteran of the 1916 Easter Rising—flew to Paris to discuss the possibility of Ireland’s joining the newly proposed European Free Trade Association, a precursor to the European Union.
Seen in hindsight, the three events occupy tellingly different temporalities. The censoring Church already belonged to the superstitious past, though the members of the clergy didn’t know it, of course, and had not yet even begun to cede their immense authority. The I.R.A. raid opened the long chapter of terroristic violence, perpetrated by both Catholics and Protestants, known as the Troubles—most of it confined to the British province of Northern Ireland and to the British mainland—that more or less came to an end in 1998, with the Anglo-Irish Good Friday Agreement. The ministerial trip to Paris set in motion an economic expansion and an integration with the rest of Europe that is open-ended and ongoing. The three events occupy the past, the finite present, and the unlimited future.
Also: religion, violence, and identity. Was Ireland just a curious, dusty little annex of the Catholic Church—its national vestry, essentially—or a modern nation willing to join a large, technocratic, increasingly secular political bloc, whose laws and mores were bound to conflict with Irish bans on abortion, divorce, and contraception? In a state that fused Catholic identity and republican nationalism, would sectarian political violence—violence done in the name of Catholics against the Protestants of Northern Ireland, and in the service of the “unfinished” Irish revolution of 1916—bind Catholicism and Irishness ever more intensely together or pull these identities apart? The sixty-year development that O’Toole so dexterously tracks is one in which an isolated religious nation becomes—slowly, then suddenly—a hospitably “normal,” secular one, and in which Catholicism and Irishness are no longer seen as synonymous. This sundering eventually made religiously sectarian violence not just difficult to defend (the modern Irish government never had a lot of time for the I.R.A.) but, finally, incoherent.

John Altman, who played her son 'Nasty Nick', paid an emotional tribute. "I shall miss my dear, dear friend. A legendary lady, a wonderful soul."
He continued: "On the plus side we spent some very happy times together and over the last few months when she hasn't been so well I have been to visit her on quite a few occasions.
“A bit like with my real mother, we kind of said our goodbyes because we knew it was gonna come at some point. I’m very sad, but I knew it was going to happen, sooner or later. Probably this year.
John added: "“She was fantastic to work with - very giving and been in the business a lot longer than I have, obviously, so she’d give me tips every now and again.
Most read in TV
“We work very hard on everything, because in a soap the schedule is very fast and furious. It’s kind like learn the lines, go on set, film it. Its like instant television, in a way.
“So we did make that point of meeting in her dressing room for ciggie and a coffee and we’d just go over it that bit more and draw more out of what we were performing. We were a good team.
“June had time for everyone. She did so much charity work. I’ve done a lot over the years and I used to tell her to slow down. I said ‘June you can’t say yes to everything’."
Danny Dyer, aka Mick Carter, wrote on instagram: "Rest in peace June. So privileged to have graced the screen with ya. An icon in its truest form. ❤️"
Maisie Smith, who starred as Tiffany Butcher Baker, shared a throwback image of herself as a child actress with June on set.
She captioned the shot: "Beautiful inside and out. Rest in pease June Brown."
Jacqueline Jossa, who played Lauren Branning, also shared a tribute. She wrote: "I am so heartbroken. You will be so missed. Sharing the screen with you, a family with you, was a dream come true, something I will never ever forget.
"Most of all though, your stories, your humour and just such calming words when I needed them. You made my joining the show so welcoming. I will keep these memories close to my heart. Rest in peace June."
Davood Ghadami, who plays Kush Kazeemi in the show, posed on twitter: "Super-professional. Always brilliant. True legend. RIP June"
Danny Boy Hatchard, who played Lee Carter, recalled one hilarious exchange with the late legend.
He wrote on twitter: "Me: Alright June!
"June: Who’s that, come closer, me eyes are gone!
"Me: It’s Danny-Boy!
"June: Oh Danny-Boy, I’ve been meaning to tell you. You look much fatter on Tele dear.
"What an honour to have known and worked with such an Icon. Rest easy wonderful Lady."
Emma Barton, aka Honey Mitchell, commented: "Darling June Irreplaceable You" followed by a broken heart emoji.
Piers Morgan, who interview June for his Life Stories series, also paid tribute.
He said: RIP June Brown, 95. A wonderfully talented actress whose long-time portrayal of irascible fag-puffing Dot Cotton in EastEnders was one of the all-time great performances in British Television.
"June was such a funny, feisty, fabulous lady off screen too. Very sad news."
A BBC spokesperson said: “We are deeply saddened to announce that our beloved June Brown, OBE, MBE sadly passed away last night.
There are not enough words to describe how much June was loved and adored by everyone at EastEnders, her loving warmth, wit and great humour will never be forgotten.
June created one of the most iconic characters in Dot Cotton, not just in soap but in British television, and having appeared in 2884 episodes, June’s remarkable performances created some of EastEnders finest moments.
We send all our love and deepest sympathies to June’s family and friends. A very bright light has gone out at EastEnders today but we shall all be raising a sweet sherry in June’s memory.

Members of the EastEnders cast have paid tribute to June Brown as “an incredible woman who had the most incredible life and career”, after her death aged 95.
Brown played the chain-smoking Dot Cotton in the BBC One soap for more than 30 years.
Gillian Taylforth, who plays Kathy Beale in the show, hailed Brown as “an amazing woman and a truly wonderful actress”.
She said: “I’m truly heartbroken by this news. June Brown OBE, MBE, was an amazing woman and a truly wonderful actress.
“I shared many scenes with her over the years and she was always someone I looked up to and learnt from.
“There will never be another June Brown and I’m sending all my love to her family.”
Adam Woodyatt, who plays Taylforth’s on-screen son Ian Beale, also paid tribute to the actress, who died at her home in Surrey on Sunday with her family by her side.
He said: “I’m lost for words, something June never was.
“So many memories, so much fun. Just purely and simply an incredible woman who had the most incredible life and career, I was fortunate to have shared a small part of it.
“They never made you a Dame (we did try), but to me you will always be Dame Brown.”
Letitia Dean, best known as Sharon Watts, said: “My beloved June, I truly loved you. Not just a phenomenal actress but a very dear friend.
“Oh the fun we have had over the years! I will never stop loving you, THANK YOU for your kindness and your generosity and for loving me the way you did.
“Sending all my dearest love to June’s family at this devastating time. God bless you June.”
Milly Zero, who plays Brown’s on-screen granddaughter Dotty Cotton, also expressed her love and respect for Brown, describing her as a “national treasure”.
Zero, 22, tweeted: “Rest in perfect peace ‘Grandma Dot’. I have never met anyone who cared about their craft so deeply.
“An artist, a national treasure, an icon & an inspiration to us all. You will always live on in the hearts of everybody you touched. There will never be anyone quite like June.”
EastEnders executive producer Chris Clenshaw said: “When you join EastEnders, there are some characters both on and off screen that are just iconic and June Brown, OBE, MBE is at the top of that list.
“Her creation and portrayal of Dot Cotton made a huge impact in British television, she created iconic moments that not only entertained the nation but at times changed it a little for the better.
“I had the pleasure of working with June when I was the story producer and when you have the talent such as June Brown to work with, you always knew it was going to be magic.
“I speak for us all at EastEnders when I say that today is a very sad day as June Brown was a truly special and unforgettable woman. We send our deepest sympathies to June’s family.”
Brown’s character was involved in a number of hard-hitting storylines, exploring themes of cancer, assisted suicide and manslaughter.
BBC director general Tim Davie said: “June Brown was a brilliantly talented actor who was loved by millions.
“Her performances as the incomparable Dot Cotton delivered some of the most memorable moments in soap history.
“June was hugely loved by the cast and crew and she will always hold a special place in the public’s affections. Our thoughts are with her family and many friends.”

(The Conversation is an independent and nonprofit source of news, analysis and commentary from academic experts.)
David Donovan, University of Tennessee and Livia Casali, University of Tennessee
(THE CONVERSATION) Scientists at a laboratory in England have shattered the record for the amount of energy produced during a controlled, sustained fusion reaction. The production of 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds at the Joint European Torus – or JET – experiment in England has been called “a breakthrough” by some news outlets and caused quite a lot of excitement among physicists. But a common line regarding fusion electricity production is that it is “always 20 years away.”
We are a nuclear physicist and a nuclear engineer who study how to develop controlled nuclear fusion for the purpose of generating electricity.
The JET result demonstrates remarkable advancements in the understanding of the physics of fusion. But just as importantly, it shows that the new materials used to construct the inner walls of the fusion reactor worked as intended. The fact that the new wall construction performed as well as it did is what separates these results from previous milestones and elevates magnetic fusion from a dream toward a reality.
Fusing particles together
Nuclear fusion is the merging of two atomic nuclei into one compound nucleus. This nucleus then breaks apart and releases energy in the form of new atoms and particles that speed away from the reaction. A fusion power plant would capture the escaping particles and use their energy to generate electricity.
There are a few different ways to safely control fusion on Earth. Our research focuses on the approach taken by JET – using powerful magnetic fields to confine atoms until they are heated to a high enough temperature for them to fuse.
The fuel for current and future reactors are two different isotopes of hydrogen – meaning they have the one proton, but different numbers of neutrons – called deuterium and tritium. Normal hydrogen has one proton and no neutrons in its nucleus. Deuterium has one proton and one neutron while tritium has one proton and two neutrons.
For a fusion reaction to be successful, the fuel atoms must first become so hot that the electrons break free from the nuclei. This creates plasma – a collection of positive ions and electrons. You then need to keep heating that plasma until it reaches a temperature over 200 million degrees Fahrenheit (100 million Celsius). This plasma must then be kept in a confined space at high densities for a long enough period of time for the fuel atoms to collide into each other and fuse together.
To control fusion on Earth, researchers developed donut-shaped devices – called tokamaks – which use magnetic fields to contain the plasma. Magnetic field lines wrapping around the inside of the donut act like train tracks that the ions and electrons follow. By injecting energy into the plasma and heating it up, it is possible to accelerate the fuel particles to such high speeds that when they collide, instead of bouncing off each other, the fuel nuclei fuse together. When this happens, they release energy, primarily in the form of fast-moving neutrons.
During the fusion process, fuel particles gradually drift away from the hot, dense core and eventually collide with the inner wall of the fusion vessel. To prevent the walls from degrading due to these collisions – which in turn also contaminates the fusion fuel – reactors are built so that they channel the wayward particles toward a heavily armored chamber called the divertor. This pumps out the diverted particles and removes any excess heat to protect the tokamak.
The walls are important
A major limitation of past reactors has been the fact that divertors can’t survive the constant particle bombardment for more than a few seconds. To make fusion power work commercially, engineers need to build a tokamak vessel that will survive for years of use under the conditions necessary for fusion.
The divertor wall is the first consideration. Though the fuel particles are much cooler when they reach the divertor, they still have enough energy to knock atoms loose from the wall material of the divertor when they collide with it. Previously, JET’s divertor had a wall made of graphite, but graphite absorbs and traps too much of the fuel for practical use.
Around 2011, engineers at JET upgraded the divertor and inner vessel walls to tungsten. Tungsten was chosen in part because it has the highest melting point of any metal – an extremely important trait when the divertor is likely to experience heat loads nearly 10 times higher than the nose cone of a space shuttle reentering the Earth’s atmosphere. The inner vessel wall of the tokamak was upgraded from graphite to beryllium. Beryllium has excellent thermal and mechanical properties for a fusion reactor – it absorbs less fuel than graphite but can still withstand the high temperatures.
The energy JET produced was what made the headlines, but we’d argue it is in fact the use of the new wall materials which make the experiment truly impressive because future devices will need these more robust walls to operate at high power for even longer periods of time. JET is a successful proof of concept for how to build the next generation of fusion reactors.
The next fusion reactors
The JET tokamak is the largest and most advanced magnetic fusion reactor currently operating. But the next generation of reactors is already in the works, most notably the ITER experiment, set to begin operations in 2027. ITER – which is Latin for “the way” – is under construction in France and funded and directed by an international organization that includes the U.S.
ITER is going to put to use many of the material advances JET showed to be viable. But there are also some key differences. First, ITER is massive. The fusion chamber is 37 feet (11.4 meters) tall and 63 feet (19.4 meters) around – more than eight times larger than JET. In addition, ITER will utilize superconducting magnets capable of producing stronger magnetic fields for longer periods of time compared to JET’s magnets. With these upgrades, ITER is expected to smash JET’s fusion records – both for energy output and how long the reaction will run.
ITER is also expected to do something central to the idea of a fusion powerplant: produce more energy than it takes to heat the fuel. Models predict that ITER will produce around 500 megawatts of power continuously for 400 seconds while only consuming 50 MW of energy to heat the fuel. This mean the reactor produced 10 times more energy than it consumed – a huge improvement over JET, which required roughly three times more energy to heat the fuel than it produced for its recent 59 megajoule record.
JET’s recent record has shown that years of research in plasma physics and materials science have paid off and brought scientists to the doorstep of harnessing fusion for power generation. ITER will provide an enormous leap forward toward the goal of industrial scale fusion power plants.

Pakistan's former chief justice Gulzar Ahmed was on Monday nominated for the office of the caretaker prime minister by incumbent Imran Khan, amid the ongoing political crisis in the country.
Former information minister and senior leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party Fawad Chaudhry said that the premier made the decision after approval from the party's core committee.
The announcement comes after President Arif Alvi sent letters to Prime Minister Khan and Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif on Monday seeking suggestions for the appointment of a caretaker prime minister.
"In response to the president's letter, after consultation and approval by the PTI core committee, Prime Minister Imran Khan has nominated Pakistan's former chief justice Gulzar Ahmed for the post of caretaker Prime Minister," Chaudhry said.
In his letter, President Alvi told them in case they do not agree on the appointment within three days of the dissolution of the Parliament, they shall forward two nominees each to a committee to be constituted by the speaker, comprising eight members of the outgoing assembly, or the Senate, or both, having equal representation from the treasury and the Opposition.
The constitution has empowered the president to appoint a caretaker prime minister in consultation with the prime minister and the leader of the Opposition in the outgoing National Assembly, the president's secretariat said in a statement.
Under Article 224-A(1) of the constitution of Pakistan, a caretaker government is set up to organise elections in the country.
Khan will continue as the prime minister till the appointment of a caretaker prime minister.
So far Shehbaz Sharif has refused to take part in the process, terming it illegal.
Born in 1957, Justice Ahmed served as chief justice from December, 2019 until his retirement in February 2022.
He was part of a five-judge bench that disqualified former premier Nawaz Sharif in the Panama Papers case. He made headlines multiple times due to his strong verdicts and comments against governments and bureaucrats.
Justice Ahmed had also ordered authorities to reconstruct a temple vandalised by a mob in northwest Pakistan and instructed them to recover the money for the restoration work from the attackers whose act had caused "international embarrassment" to Pakistan.
He had also attended a grand function at the rebuilt temple to celebrate Diwali festival last year and to express solidarity with the members of the Hindu community.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) -Shanghai will remain under lockdown as it reviews results of an exercise to test all of its 26 million residents for COVID-19, authorities said on Monday.
The city began its two-stage lockdown on March 28, initially in Shanghai's eastern districts, and later expanded to cover the whole city.
The curbs, which have massively disrupted daily life and business operations in China's financial hub, were initially scheduled to end at 5 a.m. local time (9 p.m. GMT) on Tuesday.
"The city will continue to implement seal and control management and strictly implement 'staying at home', except for medical treatment," the city government said on its official WeChat account.
It did not give an indication of when the curbs might lift.
The country sent the military and thousands of healthcare workers into Shanghai to help carry out COVID-19 tests for all of its 26 million residents on Monday, in one of the country's biggest-ever public health responses.
Some residents woke up before dawn to stand in queues for white-suited healthcare workers to swab their throats as part of nucleic acid testing at their housing compounds.
The People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Sunday dispatched more than 2,000 medical personnel from across the army, navy and joint logistics support forces to Shanghai, an armed forces newspaper reported.
About 38,000 healthcare workers from provinces such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the capital Beijing have been dispatched to Shanghai, according to state media, which showed them arriving, suitcase-laden and masked up, by high-speed rail and aircraft.
It is China's largest public health response since it tackled the initial COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, where the novel coronavirus was first discovered in late 2019. The State Council said the PLA dispatched more than 4,000 medical personnel to the province of Hubei, where Wuhan is, at that time.
Shanghai, which began a two-stage lockdown on March 28 that has been expanded to confine practically all residents to their homes, reported 8,581 asymptomatic COVID-19 cases and 425 symptomatic COVID cases for April 3. It also asked residents to self-test on Sunday.
The city has emerged as a test of China's COVID elimination strategy based on testing, tracing and quarantining all positive cases and their close contacts.
The country has 12,400 institutions capable of processing tests from as many as 900 million people a day, a senior Chinese health official was reported as saying last month.
China's primarily uses pool testing, a process in which up to 20 swab samples are mixed together for more rapid processing.
The city has also converted multiple hospitals, gymnasiums, apartment blocks and other venues into central quarantine sites, including the Shanghai New International Expo Center which can hold 15,000 patients at full capacity.
Individuals who refuse to be tested for COVID for no justifiable reason will face administrative or criminal punishment, Shanghai police said on Saturday.
PUBLIC FRUSTRATION
The surge in state support for Shanghai comes as the city is straining under the demands of the country's "dynamic clearance" strategy, with some residents complaining of crowded and unsanitary central quarantine centres, as well as difficulties in securing food and medical help.
Some have begun to question the policies, asking why COVID-positive children are separated from their parents. Western diplomats have also urged China not to do so.
On Monday Shanghai official Wu Qianyu told a news conference that children could be accompanied by their parents if the parents were also infected, but separated if they were not, adding that policies were still being refined.
There has also been increasing public questioning why mild or asymptomatic infections - the majority of Shanghai's cases - cannot isolate at home.
A Shanghai resident, who declined to be named for privacy reasons, told Reuters he had been transported to a central quarantine facility on Sunday night after reporting a positive result on a self test more than a week ago.
Another antigen test on Saturday showed he was no longer infected, but authorities insisted on sending him to quarantine, where he has been put in a flat where he has to share a toilet with two other patients, both of whom are still testing positive.
"How is this isolation?" he said, adding that he was now afraid of being re-infected. "I'm not in any mood to do anything right now, I can't sleep."
On Monday, videos circulating on the WeChat messaging app showed scores of people rushing to grab bedding and supplies from the dirty floor of what the poster said was a quarantine centre whose premises were still littered with construction materials.
Reuters could not independently verify the footage.
WORKERS UNDER STRAIN
The pressure on the city's healthcare workers and Communist Party members has also been great, as they work around the clock to manage the city's lockdown and deal with residents' frustrations.
Photos and videos have gone viral on Chinese social media of exhausted workers and volunteers sleeping in plastic chairs or on the grass outside housing compounds, or being berated by residents.
On Saturday, the city's Pudong Chinese Center for Disease Control said it was investigating a leaked recording of a call between a staff member and the relative of a patient, who was perplexed by his father's COVID test results.
The CDC staff member, who local media identified as infectious disease expert Zhu Weiping, could be heard saying exasperatedly that she herself had raised concerns over the current quarantine and testing rules and that the virus had become a "political" one.
Reuters was not able to independently verify the recording which went viral on Chinese social media.
Users of the Weibo social media platform started a hashtag "protect Zhu Weiping," which by Monday had 2.9 million views, amid concerns that she could face punishment for speaking out against the official line.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged the country to curb the momentum of the outbreak as soon as possible while sticking to the "dynamic-clearance" policy.
On Saturday, Vice-Premier Sun Chunlan, who was sent to Shanghai by the central government, urged the city to "make resolute and swift moves" to curb the pandemic.
The eastern city of Suzhou said it had detected a version of the Omicron BA.1.1 subvariant that doesn't match any others in the domestic database or the international variant tracking database GISAID, state television reported.
The state-backed Science and Technology Daily said it remains unclear whether the virus is a new sub-branch of Omicron and that the emergence of one or two new versions is normal given the spread of Omicron in China, citing an unidentified expert with a national database.

Suddenly, Tesla’s Elon Musk is Twitter’s biggest stakeholder
(AP) - Tesla CEO Elon Musk has taken a 9% stake in Twitter to become its largest shareholder after raising questions about the social media platform’s dedication to free speech.
The ultimate aim of Musk’s 73.5 million share purchase worth $2.9 billion, based on the closing price Friday, is not clear. Yet in recent weeks Musk, who has 80 million Twitter followers and posts there often, has questioned free speech on Twitter and whether the platform is undermining democracy.
The regulatory filing Monday describes Musk as a long-term investor looking to minimize his buying and selling of the shares.
He has also pondered starting a rival social media network, and industry analysts are skeptical about whether the mercurial CEO would remain on the sidelines for long.
“We would expect this passive stake as just the start of broader conversations with the Twitter board/management that could ultimately lead to an active stake and a potential more aggressive ownership role of Twitter,” Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities said in a client note early Monday.
Twitter’s stock surged 20% before the opening bell Monday.
Musk told his more than 80 million followers on Twitter that he was " giving serious thought " to creating his own social media platform and has clashed repeatedly with financial regulators about his use of Twitter.
His Twitter stock purchase comes as Musk is locked into a bitter dispute with U.S. securities regulators over his ability to post on Twitter. Musk’s lawyer has contended in court motions that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is infringing on the Tesla CEO’s First Amendment rights.
In October of 2018, Musk and Tesla agreed to pay $40 million in civil fines and for Musk to have his tweets approved by a corporate lawyer after he tweeted about having the money to take Tesla private at $420 per share.
The funding was far from secured and the electric vehicle company remains public, but Tesla’s stock price jumped. The settlement specified governance changes, including Musk’s ouster as board chairman, as well as pre-approval of his tweets. The SEC brought a securities fraud charge, alleging that Musk was manipulating the stock price with his posts.
Musk’s lawyer is now asking a U.S. District Court judge in Manhattan to throw out the settlement, contending that the SEC is harassing him and infringing on his First Amendment rights.
Early in March, Musk asked Judge Alison Nathan to nullify an SEC subpoena and throw out the settlement agreement. His lawyer, Alex Spiro, said the SEC has used the court agreement “to trample on Mr. Musk’s First Amendment rights and to impose prior restraints on his speech.”
The SEC responded in a court motion, saying it has legal authority to subpoena Tesla and Musk about his tweets, and that Musk’s move to throw out the settlement is not valid.
The SEC disclosed that it is investigating Musk’s Nov. 6, 2021 tweets that asked followers whether he should sell 10% of his Tesla stake. The commission confirmed that it issued administrative subpoenas while investigating whether Musk and Tesla are complying with disclosure controls in the 2018 agreement.
The commission also is investigating whether Tesla described accurately in public filings with the agency whether it complied with the controls.
The commission maintains that the subpoenas were lawful, and that Musk isn’t following proper legal procedure to challenge them. SEC attorney Melissa Armstrong called Musk’s challenge “frivolous,” and pointed out that Musk and Tesla agreed to have his tweets pre-approved by other company officials.
“Courts have long recognized that ‘congress has vested the SEC with broad authority to conduct investigations into possible violations of federal securities laws and to demand production of evidence relevant to such investigations,’” Armstrong wrote.
The subpoenas, issued under seal, come from a formal order by the commission authorizing the investigation. They seek all written communications concerning the Nov. 6 tweets and whether they were shown to Tesla lawyers for pre-approval.
Musk attorney Spiro has asked for verbal arguments in the case.
Musk’s revelation about his stake in Twitter shares comes two days after Tesla Inc. posted first-quarter delivery numbers. While the company delivered 310,000 vehicles in the period, the figure was slightly below expectations.
Shortly after the November tweets about the Tesla stock sale Musk began selling off shares, and he wrote on Twitter that the sale would go to pay tax obligations on stock options. Analysts estimate his tax obligation at $10 billion to $15 billion. But some of the money could have been used to buy the Twitter stake.
So far he has sold more than 15 million shares worth roughly $16.4 billion. With some sales in late December, Musk is close to selling 10%.

With Smarsh Capture, large organizations can now capture data from 10x more Zoom users
PORTLAND, Ore., April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Smarsh®, enabling organizations to manage the risk and uncover the value within their communications data, today announced new capabilities for its Capture solution for Zoom. Developed in collaboration with Zoom Video Communications, Inc., the new offering enables enterprise organizations, who need to comply with financial industry compliance regulations, to unlock the expanded capabilities of Zoom Meetings at the largest scale possible.
With this release, Smarsh enables customers to capture content up to 250,000 Zoom Meeting users. Now, enterprises can support compliance at an even greater scale as employees remain more distributed and digitally connected than ever before. The Smarsh Capture solution captures over 80+ channels natively using APIs to send data to Smarsh archiving platforms or any external archive, third-party application, or data lake.
"Companies everywhere are working tirelessly to create workplaces that meet the unique demands of the modern hybrid enterprise," said Gary Sorrentino, Global Deputy CIO at Zoom. "They need to enable their employees to communicate and collaborate at scale and from anywhere -- without sacrificing security and compliance. We're proud of our ever-expanding collaboration with Smarsh, and the real value we offer together to customers around the world."
Workstream collaboration tools, such as Zoom, are essential to any organization. In 2022, 31% of all workers worldwide will be remote or hybrid, with the majority of workers in the U.S. and U.K. working remotely according to Gartner.* With more workers operating from all over the world and outside of a controlled office environment, organizations who need to comply with regulatory requirements are vulnerable to risk with communications occurring across various different channels. In order to ensure all communications are accounted for, organizations need to scale their oversight. And, with this expanded oversight, large organizations can enable compliance with regulations that require this content to be captured and monitored.
"With the workforce becoming increasingly hybrid and using more communication channels, Enterprise organizations are more at risk than ever before," said Goutam Nadella, Smarsh Chief Product Officer. "Smarsh works with many of the largest global banks and financial firms to provide a scalable and secure solution to supervise their Zoom communications. Our future-proof solution enables these organizations and their employees to be productive in this age of hybrid work while staying compliant."
As a seven-time Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader, Smarsh brings 20+ years of experience of solving the most complex digital communications problems for more than 6,500 organizations worldwide. It delivers world-class, enterprise-scale solutions in key use case areas including combating financial crime, enabling intelligent e-discovery, empowering organizations to meet their compliance obligations, better protecting intellectual property, monitoring for sexual harassment and other bad behaviors, and enabling compliant remote work.

Nickel has captured much of the limelight among battery metals in recent weeks, and understandably so. Wild price swings, including an unprecedented 250% advance over two trading sessions amid a short squeeze, and concerns tied to Russia’s role as a key supplier have added to longstanding worries among automakers about securing enough of the material.
Even so, it’s another metal that’s been causing concern in the world’s largest electric vehicle market.
China’s government last month hauled in a whole range of market players for two days of talks focused on halting a breakneck run-up in lithium, the metal that’s vital for almost all rechargeable batteries and critical to the roll-out of emissions-free cars and clean energy.
Lithium carbonate in China jumped about 472% from a low last June to a record high on March 15, according to pricing provider Asian Metal Inc. An index of global lithium prices compiled by Benchmark Mineral Intelligence has surged almost 490% in the past year.
At the March seminar, which included industry groups, raw materials suppliers and battery manufacturers, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, demanded “a rational return” to more typical lithium prices. Talks focused on supply bottlenecks, pricing mechanisms and what officials described as the healthy development of the country’s new-energy vehicle and battery sectors.
While similar interventions to manage soaring commodity prices have been common for coal and steel, it’s a rare step in the electric vehicle sector and underscores Beijing’s nervousness about the impact of rising lithium costs.
As my colleague Danny Lee wrote earlier Monday, automakers are already grappling with the hikes in raw materials. Several have raised sticker prices in response. By making electric models too expensive, they risk slowing the pace of adoption.
“The industry is facing a very strong headwind from cost escalation,” Brian Gu, president of Xpeng Inc., told Bloomberg Television last week. The Guangzhou-based producer last month raised the price of its vehicles by between 10,100 yuan ($1,572) and 20,000 yuan.
Vehicle manufacturers are suffering from “opportunistic price hikes,” to lithium products, Nio Inc.’s founder William Li said on an earnings call last month. He urged suppliers to consider the impact of higher costs on development of the EV industry.
The sector’s challenges follow decisions to slow or halt expansions and new projects during a two-year lithium price slump through the middle of 2020. That, combined with Covid-19 disruptions, means additions to supply simply can’t keep pace with rising requirements.
Demand for lithium will jump fivefold by the end of the decade, according to Bloomberg NEF. Roughly $14 billion of investment is needed to finance lithium resource and refining capacity by 2025, plus another as much as $5 billion by 2030, BNEF forecasts.
There are some signs that governments, producers and consumers are now recognizing the scale of that task.
Tesla Inc. signed two recent supply pacts with developers of future projects in Australia, while Ganfeng Lithium Co. — one of the world’s largest producers — said last week it’ll use record profits to support a huge expansion program, aimed at delivering eventual capacity of 600,000 tons of lithium carbonate equivalent, compared to production of about 89,000 tons now.
China’s authorities have called for quicker development of a domestic lithium sector that already dominates world production, highlighting growth prospects in Qinghai, Sichuan, and Jiangxi provinces. In the U.S., President Joe Biden last week added battery metals, including lithium, to a list of items covered by the Defense Production Act, meaning companies can access funding to boost output or to study potential new developments.

BANGALORE, India, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The annual International Muse awards recently announced its 2021 winners and Crystal Hall by Architect Thomas Abraham won the Platinum Prize for both its architecture and interior design, in the sustainable category.
The building being sustainable came as a shock to many including the jury, given that the building is completely made of glass and has no windows. The first concern for an all glass building is that of heat egress. It is natural to infer that the residence is air conditioned given the absence of any windows in the structure.
The architect, on the other hand, emphasises the absence of any form of air conditioning. Insulation is provided by two layers of high-performance glass walls that reflect over 66% of the heat. Exhausts in the ceiling remove heated air, and Thomas smiles as he points to the strategically positioned vents that bring in cool fresh air, lowering the room temperature.
Moreover, "the lush rainforest flora situated between the double glass walls reduces heat ingress." According to Thomas Abraham, the dense foliage also "provides privacy for the interiors." Aside from cutting down on heat gain and increasing comfort, the dense greenery and double-glazing help block out outside noise and let in plenty of natural light, which also precludes any need for daytime artificial lighting.
The building also has the first ever windmill towers in global residential architecture, that provide almost 30 per cent of the power on a good day. On such days, the excess power is fed back into the city grid, thereby making the building close to net-zero, in terms of energy usage.
Finally, this is shimmering crystalline building is one with nature or as the cliche goes - of nature, by nature and for nature. It is the quintessential example that proves that we can have it all – technology and sustainability. In fact, technology can be our ally not to conquer nature, but to be one with it.

Current Environment for Tech Stocks
A closer look at the charts reveals that social networking stocks, like TWTR, are facing troubling times since the onset of 2022. Investors started to flee the tech stocks at the start of the year, owing to general market-related factors. In recent days, the situation has for tech stocks has got more serious, as the growing geopolitical friction caused investors to look toward safer investments, like Oil and Gas, etc. The situation doesn’t seem to be coming back to normal in near future for tech stocks.
What’s in Store for TWTR?
Just like all the other tech stocks, TWTR has also been on a struggling front during the last 12 months. But a recent improvement in the financials and well other developments, particularly of Musk’s stake, is giving the hint that the situation is returning to normal for Twitter. The long-term investment could provide solid returns to investors; however, as the market is not perfectly stable at the moment, the short-term investment could prove to be tricky.
Final Remarks
To sum up, despite the negative performance of tech stocks (particularly TWTR) during the last 12 months, they are expected to bounce back in the upcoming months. Hence, investors should be rational decisions when thinking of investing in the tech sector.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in Lok Sabha that his high-pitched voice does not reflect anger but is a “manufacturing defect” evoking laughter from members. He also added that he does not get angry except on questions related to Kashmir.
In the last week of the second phase of the budget session of Parliament, Home Minister Amit Shah introduced the Criminal Procedure Identification Bill 2022 in the Lok Sabha on Monday.
He said that the bill was aimed at making the investigation of crime more efficient and expeditious.

‘The bill is too late’
He said that this bill was too late. In 1980, the Law Commission sent a proposal to the Government of India to reconsider the Prisoners Identification Act 1920 in its report. It was discussed over and over again. After the formation of the government, this bill was discussed with the states. Correspondence has also been done. This bill was brought after studying several provisions used for convictions in criminal law across the world. He said that many people raised many objections about this. Concerns have also been raised about the liberty of the individual. The concerns of all those people have been included in the bill.

'Prison manual is also being prepared'
Amit Shah also said that under the Bill, a prison manual is also being prepared. For the rehabilitation of prisoners, limiting the powers of the jail authorities, discipline, prison security, separate prisons and open prison arrangements for women prisoners, we have included many such things in the law of the prison. If we don't change it in time, we lag behind in the evidence that we provide to the courts for conviction and the investigation doesn't help either.

Gardai warn public as fraud ring steals 'very significant' sums of money from bank accounts
A warning has been issued to the public to be wary of recent bank account fraud by a criminal ring.
According to the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB), perpetrators are targeting bank accounts by using third parties such as couriers to convince victims of legitimacy and enable the fraud.
The warning comes as "very significant" sums of money have been reported as stolen from victim bank accounts.
The fraud occurs through text messages containing a link to what appears to be a genuine bank website. Once opened, victims will be prompted to enter personal details including phone number to log in to their account.
Fraudsters monitor the log-in remotely and recover the personal details, log-in number and password.
They then call the victim and pretend to be from the fraud department of the person's bank and convince the victim that their account is compromised, and that the bank card is required for "forensic testing" or some other reason.
Victims are then told the bank will send out a third party to collect the card, and the victim is advised to put the card in an envelope and write the pin number on the outside.
This will then be handed to the third party on arrival, and the fraudster will frequently be on the phone to the victim as the third party arrives to encourage the handover.
The innocent third party may have also been contacted via an app or other social media to collect the envelope from the victim and to deliver it to an agreed location.
They will be met by a person on foot who will take possession of the card, which is then used to withdraw cash and to transfer funds out of victims' account.
GNECB is advising the public to heed the following advice: Never click on links in an unsolicited text message, never give away PIN or one-time codes, never act on advice or instruction received during an unsolicited call, never download an app on the instruction from an unsolicited call, and never hand over a bank card to a third party.

Linda Eve Johnston
1956 - 2021
LAKE GENEVA - Linda Eve Johnston of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin passed away peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, June 10, 2021.
Born on New Years Eve 1956, in Glen Ellyn, IL, Linda became a lifelong academic at a young age, graduating early from Glenbard West High School and Purdue University where she studied Biology and Environmental Science. During her time at Purdue she met the love of her life and future husband Charles Johnston on a blind date, who survives her along with their sons Preston and Tyler.
After College, Linda took a year off to travel the world. Her travels took her to the top of Machu Picchu, hiking through Argentina and skiing in Bariloche before she followed in her father's footsteps to attend the Illinois College of Optometry receiving her Doctor of Optometry degree. After many years of academics she turned her focus on starting a family and a business.She was married in Glen Ellyn in 1980, where she took over and ran her family practice for many years.
But above all, Linda was a strong, caring and independent woman who made sure that everyone around her felt loved. She was an inspiration to many of her friends and family with boundless energy and the ability to lighten any room. Survivor of breast cancer and melanoma, and a self described caretaker, there was no challenge that she could not overcome with grace and integrity.
Her loss is felt deeply by her family and all whose path she crossed. A memorial service will be heldFriday June, 18, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at Immanuel Lutheran Church.700 N. Bloomfield Road, Lake Geneva, WI. A reception will follow at Lakewood Golf Club,w1773 Bloomfield Road, Lake Geneva, WI.

Derrick Funeral Home of Lake Geneva is honored to be assisting the Johnston family.

The state Republican party endorsement process in Wisconsin is drawing criticism from some of its candidates as just two GOP governor and four lieutenant governor hopefuls have so far met campaign finance thresholds needed to qualify for the party’s endorsement.
Just two of the nine GOP candidates for governor have met the state party’s fundraising benchmarks to be considered for its endorsement at the convention in May, according to a WisPolitics.com survey of the campaigns in mid-March. And one of those candidates is labeling the process “cooked,’’ comparing it to “insider trading.’’
The state Republican Party convention will be held May 20-22 at the Madison Marriott West hotel in Middleton.
Delegates from each county Republican Party will vote at the convention on who gets the state party endorsement. Candidates have to get at least 60% of those votes to receive the endorsement. Each county has its own number of delegates and each has its own process for how to choose which delegates vote at the convention.
The fundraising threshold for gubernatorial candidates to be considered for endorsement requires at least $100,000 from 1,000 donors or more. Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch told WisPolitics.com she easily eclipsed the thresholds, but declined to offer her thoughts on whether thresholds were the right move.
Rep. Tim Ramthun told WisPolitics.com he broke the $100,000 barrier earlier this month from an estimated 1,800 to 2,000 donors to his gubernatorial campaign. The Campbellsport Republican added he feels the thresholds are wrong.
“I think it’s a huge mistake,” Ramthun said. “I’m going through the process to make them work for it and make them prove it. I may do it just so I don’t make it easy for them. But I won’t hold my breath because I think it’s all insider trader things and they’ve already got this thing cooked.”
Ramthun also said he plans to meet with the party as part of the endorsement interview process on Tuesday, but added it’s “probably a waste of time because they have their candidate picked out.”
Former Marine and U.S. Sen. candidate Kevin Nicholson last month said he is not seeking the GOP endorsement because he does not think the party should endorse any candidate. Nicholson said the endorsement process fractures the party ahead of the primary and has contributed to 11 Republican losses in the past 12 statewide general elections.
Out of 10 people vying for lieutenant governor this year, four Republicans have met the benchmarks, the survey showed. But even some of the leading candidates likely to qualify are unhappy with the process.
Under state Republican Party rules, candidates for lieutenant governor must raise at least $50,000 from 300 donors in order to seek the GOP endorsement and speak at party events. Some candidates are criticizing the criteria, which they say is unfair to grassroots candidates.
Ben Voelkel said he met both thresholds. The former aide to U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Oshkosh, had $70,080 in his war chest at the end of December after raising just over $116,000.
Voelkel has also criticized the state party for setting benchmarks, which he called “fundamentally wrong.”
“I just think that sends the totally wrong message to the grassroots of the party, especially at a time where there’s already a sense out there — some stoking it more than others — a sense that it’s rigged or the fix is in,” Voelkel said.
“These are arbitrary numbers that I’m not sure where they came from. I really think we should be doing everything we can to let the grassroots have a say in who the candidates are,” he said.
“There’ll be people who are frustrated and confused as they see people campaigning for months who don’t get a chance to speak at the convention, and then all of a sudden people they’ve never heard of are up on stage speaking at the convention.”
Sen. Pat Testin, R-Stevens Point, said he met the GOP standards for lieutenant governor candidates. Testin had $131,161 in the bank at the end of 2021 and has raised $203,654 since launching his campaign. Testin said he doesn’t have a problem with the standards and that there should be some in place.
“I’m not going to complain about it,” Testin said. “I’m going to go out there and do what I have to do.”
Sen. Roger Roth, R-Appleton, said he will meet with the party next week to show his cash on hand. At the end of December, Roth had over $400,000 in his war chest rolled over from his state Senate account to his campaign for lieutenant governor.
Roth told WisPolitics.com the party is free to conduct business as it sees fit, but in his opinion, the endorsement process could create more division among Republicans.
“At a time when we’re looking to unite and unify the party, it seems like going through the endorsement process is going to lead to more fracturing,” Roth said.
Lancaster Mayor David Varnam said he did not meet the threshold but wanted to appeal the decision. Varnam told WisPolitics.com he raised about $24,000 and was short 65 donors. He said thresholds are a good idea, but the ones the party set are too high.

Martyn Ford’s stunning body transformation as World’s Scariest Man unrecognizable during years as cricketer
MARTYN FORD might be known as the 'World's Scariest Man' - but he hasn't always had such a hulking physique.
The Brit bodybuilder, 39, was due to fight Sajad Gharbiri in an epic heavyweight boxing showdown later this month.
But in a blow for his fledgling boxing career, the fight against the 'Iranian Hulk' has now been removed from the card on April 30.
He's assured fans though that he WILL be in the ring soon, even if there's no opponent currently in the crosshairs.
Ford has come a long way since he was a scraggly teenage cricketer, standing 6ft8 and looking slightly awkward in his own body.
The Midlands-native is now a 320lbs colossus, sculpted through years of hard work and perseverance down the gym.
Ford's dreams of becoming a professional cricketer were dashed during his teenage years when he caught a particularly bad bout of glandular fever.
After missing a crucial year of development time due to the disease, he put down the bat and instead started pumping iron.
He explained: "The injury hit me quite hard and then psychologically I just gave up.
"I suppose a combination of not training and depression took me right down to that sort of weight."
And fans are stunned by the throwback pics Ford shared of how he used to look before hitting the weights.
His physique has taken him from the gyms of the West Midlands to the bright lights of Hollywood, where Ford recently starred in Fast & Furious 9.
He's the proud owner of Beta Bodz gym in Birmingham and the tattooed bodybuilder keeps up his incredible physique with a regimented workout routine.
'THERE WILL BE A FIGHT'
This involves five high-level sessions each week, with the reps and exercises changed each month to shock his body into change.
And along with lifting weights, Ford now uses boxing and MMA to keep himself in supreme condition.
Every bodybuilder knows that workouts along won't see you make incredible gains - you definitely are what you eat.
Before taking on the Hulk fight, Ford consumed between 4500-8000 calories every DAY and precisely counts his macros in each meal to avoid gaining any unnecessary fat.
He revealed he'd cut four stone recently as he prepared for the April 30 showdown.
Despite the disappointment of missing out on a bout with the Iranian Hulk, he looks set to enter the world of boxing soon.
Most read in Sport
He said: "I don't want to go down the route of talking about it; too much time and energy has been wasted.
"I'm still training hard, there will be a debut. There will be a fight, I'm just not 100 per cent sure who, when or why, but it will happen."
Ford and the Iranian Hulk clashed in Dubai last month, with the Brit coming off by far the better in a bad-tempered face-off.
Fans were concerned for Gharibi's safety in the upcoming fight after a push from Ford sent him flying to the floor.
The bout had been scheduled on the undercard of Patrice Evra's showdown with Adam Saleh, which currently remains on.

According to police, Watts shot Harris multiple times. When she collapsed, he reportedly stood over her and continued to shoot her until he ran out of ammunition. He fled but was detained by private security at gunpoint.
Harris’ family said she had aspirations of being a Miami-Dade commissioner and was a great mother.

What just happened? Russia says it will halt cooperation with western nations on the International Space Station (ISS) until sanctions imposed on Moscow are lifted. Russia's space director, Dmitry Rogozin, made the announcement on social media, but NASA says it continues to support government space cooperation.
Rogozin, who heads Russia's Roscosmos space agency, said that the goal of the sanctions was to "kill Russian economy and plunge our people into despair and hunger, to get our country on its knees." He added that they "won't succeed in it, but the intentions are clear."
"That's why I believe that the restoration of normal relations between the partners at the International Space Station (ISS) and other projects is possible only with full and unconditional removal of illegal sanctions," Rogozin wrote in his Telegram account.
Rogozin tweeted that he appealed the sanctions in letters to NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). He also posted images of what are allegedly responses from each country—the CSA confirmed the letter's authenticity to The Verge.
"лава НАСА сенатор Нельсон, руково'итель *вропейского космического агентства Йозеф Ашба...ер и глава Кана'ского космического агентства Лиза Кэмпбелл ответили на мо' к ним обращение с требованием отмены санкций против ря'а пре'приятий российской ракетно-космической отрасли. pic.twitter.com/rnMYiK9wal
— РО"О-ИН (@Rogozin) April 2, 2022
"The U.S. continues to support international government space cooperations, especially those activities associated with operating the ISS with Russia, Canada, Europe, and Japan," states one letter, signed by NASA administrator Bill Nelson. "New and existing U.S. export control measures continue to allow cooperation between the U.S. and Russia to ensure continued safe operations of the ISS."
Rogozin said Roscosmos will determine a date for halting Russia's involvement with the ISS, which will then be reported to the Russian government.
Russia has continued to work with western partners, including the US, on the ISS since the country invaded Ukraine. Two Russian cosmonauts and a US astronaut returned to earth last Wednesday and landed in Kazakhstan, where they were met by Russian and NASA officials who cooperated during the recovery.
The New York Times notes that the agreement between nations participating in the space program runs until 2024, and the US wants to extend this until 2030. Russia previously said it planned to leave the ISS and launch its own space station into orbit by the end of the decade.
"All of our international partners including Roscosmos are making progress on moving towards station extension to 2030," said Kathy Lueders, NASA's associate administrator for space operations. She added that NASA is also working on other agreements with Russia.
In February, Rogozin warned that without the participation of Russia, which NASA relies on for the ISS's position and orientation in space, the station would (eventually) come crashing into the US, Europe, India, or China. But Elon Musk believes SpaceX could prevent this nightmare scenario.

Netherlands coach and former Man United boss Louis van Gaal has revealed that he’s battling a ‘pretty aggressive form’ of prostate cancer.
The 70-year-old head coach confirmed the diagnosis on Dutch television show Humberto to promote a new film about his life, and admitted that he had kept the news from his players.
“In each period during my time as manager of the national team I had to leave in the night to go to the hospital without the players finding it out until now, while thinking I was healthy, but… I am not,” he said.
“I think you don’t tell people you work with like that because it might influence their choices, their decisiveness. So I thought they shouldn’t know.”
The gaffer added: “You don’t die from prostate cancer, at least not in 90 per cent of the cases. It is usually other underlying diseases that kill you.
“But I had a pretty aggressive form, got irradiated 25 times. Then you have a lot of management to do in order to go through life
“I did have preferential treatment in the hospital. I was allowed in through the back door when I went to an appointment and was immediately pushed into another room.
“I have been treated wonderfully. You will of course tell your friends and relatives about it. The fact that nothing has come out yet also says something about my environment. That’s great.”
Meanwhile, Van Gaal is due to be in charge of the Netherlands at the World Cup in Qatar in November, with his side in Group A along with Senegal, Ecuador and the hosts.- Soccer24 Zimbabwe

Over the past year or so, the ‘G’ rules mandating proof of vaccination, a booster, negative test or recovery certificate have become a regular part of life in Germany. For a while, unvaccinated people had to grow accustomed to a more restricted lifestyle or needing to test regularly to go to bars, shops and gyms. Vaccinated people, meanwhile, always had their phones at the ready, preparing for the inevitable “Impfnachweis, bitte!” (Vaccine pass, please!) as they entered pubs and restaurants.
Since the transition period for the last set of Covid rules ended on Sunday, however, an end of an era is upon us. All of the ‘G’ rules have completely fallen away, meaning people can go about their normal lives regardless of whether they’ve had their jabs or a recent test. Two states have opted to keep things like 3G and 2G for now, but for the vast majority of people, the vaccine pass and recovery certificate are a thing of the past (at least for now).
Another victim of the most recent changes to the Covid rules is capacity limits – so sports and cultural venues will now be able to fill their seats just as they used to do before the pandemic. And there’s also no legal requirement for employers to allow working from home.
But with all of the major changes, some important measures still need to be observed. Here’s what you need to know.
Masks on public transport and in hospitals
Though masks are no longer required in shops, restaurants and other public venues, people are still expected to cover their mouth and nose while travelling on public transport. That includes local buses, trams and trains as well as long-distance trains and flights.
Most transport companies, including Deutsche Bahn, ask customers to wear a medical mask such as an FPP2 mask.
Masks will also continue to be part of basic protection measures in places where you might encounter vulnerable people: clinics, hospitals and care homes all fall under this category.

It’s also worth being aware of the fact that the owners of supermarkets, gyms, hotels and catering businesses may decide to set their own rules.
In fact, Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) has actively encouraged them to do so. So while most of the major retailers are opting to dispense with masks, it’s believed that Netto, DM and Rossmann will be among the brands that will continue to require them.

Testing
While ‘G’ rules have generally been scrapped across the country, there are still some places you might need a test.
According to the latest version of the Infection Protection Act, the managers of hospitals, care homes and “shared accommodation” (i.e. prisons) will have to keep some kind of testing concept in place, which will mean that visitors and staff still require tests.
For residents of nursing homes or prisons, local health authorities will be able to decide when tests are needed – for example, when there’s evidence of an outbreak or a swell in infections. The testing requirement for staff and visitors can be replaced with a ‘3G’ rule, so you may find a hospital or care home asking for a vaccination or recovery certificate in lieu of a test.
Tests are also likely to continue in most schools around the country, though states are allowed some leeway on this.
In the workplace, almost all government-mandated rules will end, but employers will have the freedom to define their own hygiene concepts. That could involve wearing masks, keeping distance or testing regularly – though if your employer decides to do this they will have to provide masks and tests free of charge.
Local testing centres will continue to offer free Bürgertests to residents and tourists until the end of May.
Quarantine
For the time being at least, the current quarantine rules for people who have close contact with a Covid-infected person, or people who have Covid, remain in place.
In essence, that means up to 10 days of quarantine for anyone who tests positive for Covid (or seven with a negative test) and the same for double-vaccinated or unvaccinated people who have contact with someone infected with Covid.

If you’ve have your booster or a second vaccine shot within the past three months, you won’t have to quarantine if you’ve spent time with a Covid-infected person. However, everyone has to self-isolate following a negative test result.
Travel rules
The government has shaken up its travel rules recently, removing all countries from the Robert Koch Institute’s infamous “risk list”. Nevertheless, the basic requirement to furnish proof remains in place.
That means you’ll need your negative test result, recovery certificate or vaccine pass at the ready when returning to the country after a trip abroad, even if you’re travelling by road.

Covid ‘hotspots’
So far, two German states have opted to take advantage of a clause in the new Infection Protection Act that allows them to declare themselves “hotspots” and keep many of their previous Covid rules in place.
In Mecklenburg Western-Pomerania, most public venues still operate with a 3G entry policy (tests, vaccination or recovery) and masks, or a 2G policy (vaccinated and recovered only) without masks. In most indoor spaces – including supermarkets – masks are still mandatory.
In addition, a 2G-plus rule (vaccination and booster or a negative test) is still needed to get into nightclubs. According to a recent statement, state officials plan to meet on Tuesday to discuss whether any of these rules should be relaxed in the near future.
The other state that has kept many rules in place is the northern city-state of Hamburg. Here, masks will still be required in the majority of indoor public venues like bars, restaurants, shops and leisure centres, and 2G-plus rules will apply in clubs and discos. This will apply until April 30th.

Stride strengthens position as a leading fintech as it grows its executive team across credit, servicing, and compliance with four key executive hires
BOSTON, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vemo Education (Vemo) co-founder and former Senior Vice President of Originations & Servicing, Renée Mang, has joined Stride Funding, Inc. (Stride) as the company's Vice President of Operations. The award-winning startup, which provides flexible, affordable alternative funding products for students in higher education and alternative education programs, has added four new industry leaders to its executive team with a combined near 100 years of experience across Sallie Mae, National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), Discover Financial Services, Eastern Bank, OneMain Financial, and more.
Stride, a fast-growing fintech with expertise across credit, servicing, and compliance, is the leading provider of Income Share Agreements (ISAs), Deferred Tuition Agreements (DTAs), and payment plans for students across higher education and alternative education programs. On a mission to provide flexible, affordable funding to students of all backgrounds, Stride has pioneered outcomes-driven underwriting that doesn't require a cosigner, minimum credit score, or current income when determining student eligibility.
"I'm thrilled to be joining the team at Stride. I've admired their growth, passion, student centricity, and platform from afar and can't wait to bring my 40+ years of experience and passion to accelerate Stride's momentum and operational rigor," said Mang. "I've had the pleasure of growing Vemo and shaping the early days of the ISA industry and supporting some of the top Title IV schools and coding bootcamps. I look forward to growing the best-in-class education funding company driving access and affordability every step of the way."
An early leader in the field, Mang comes with 44 years of experience and held several key positions in her 20 years at Sallie Mae, including managing $30 billion in new loan origination volume annually. She joined Vemo Education as a Co-Founder and Senior Vice President of Originations & Servicing in 2016, overseeing customer service operations, origination, servicing, back-office operations, school relationship management, and student counseling for Vemo's income-based finance products. At Stride, she will lead all customer success, origination, servicing, and income verification teams and instill operational excellence in teams focused on school partners and student customers alike.
Blessing Chimwanda, who oversaw Eastern Bank's consumer lending compliance management program, is Stride's new Chief Compliance Officer. He has spent 20 years in financial services, including as Large Bank Legal and Compliance Bank Examiner at Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, with a deep focus on developing, monitoring, and testing fair lending and ECOA policies.
Pete Klipa joins as Director of Loan Servicing, with 25 years of experience in collections and recoveries in the utility, credit card, and auto finance industries. He previously led Creditor Relations at the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), working with the NFCC's largest banks and federal regulators on strategy, oversaw Loss Mitigation at American Credit Acceptance, and managed collection agencies at Discover Financial Services.
Dr. Travis (TJ) Gonzales, Vice President of Credit and Analytics, joins Stride from Purpose Financial, where he most recently served as the Chief Analytics Officer and acting Chief Risk Officer. He previously led analytics and modeling as a Managing Director at OneMain Holdings. He has spent nearly a decade leading teams and leveraging innovative tools and methodologies to support increased access across consumer lending and personal loans.
Tess Michaels, Stride founder and CEO, says, "We founded Stride Funding with the goal of making education more accessible for students across the country, and with this A+ team in place, we're more confident than ever in the impact we will have on reshaping the student loan industry.
